Known for its potent aroma and flavor that mellows into a rich, savory taste when cooked, it is essential in Indian vegetarian cooking, especially for legume and vegetable dishes. This finely ground, microfine powder aids digestion and is packaged to maintain freshness, making it a staple for health-conscious, flavor-savvy home chefs. ## Description Also known in India as Hing. Derived from a species of giant fennel, asafoetida has a unique smell and flavor. It is called for often in Indian cooking, primarily with legumes and dishes featuring vegetables such as cauliflower. While on its own, the smell may strike you as overpowering and somewhat unpleasant, in cooking it mellows out and produces a result similar to onion and garlic. In India this ingredient is crucial for the Jains, who do not eat root crops. Contains asafoetida microfine powder, wheat and rice flour, gum arabic. This authentic Asafoetida, or Indian Hing, is very popular throughout the world. Use sparingly, as this spice has a strong flavor and aroma. Asafoetida makes Indian and other dishes easier to digest. Review: Low cost vital seasoning, try it. - This is the secret ingredient I was missing. It adds an aroma and flavor similar to onion, but not exactly, better. it is a beneficial flavor and aroma. I believe any recipe where onion is required would benefit from about 1/16th teaspoon. That may seem like a ridiculously small amount, but this seasoning is potent. Use very little until you are familiar with it. Great in a beef stew. One serious down side is this seasoning is hard to contain. It will add an aroma to your entire cubbord unless you take measures to contain it. I repurposed a pickle jar and I store the small spice container inside the sealed jar. Solved the problem. Review: It is a must-have - I use this asafoetida in almost all my Indian cooking and it has become an essential spice in my kitchen. The aroma is strong and pungent when raw but transforms into a rich, savory flavor once cooked, enhancing dals, curries, and tempering perfectly. The quality of this brand is excellent. The powder is finely ground and does not clump, making it easy to measure and use. A small pinch goes a long way because the flavor is very concentrated. The packaging keeps the spice fresh and easy to store. I also appreciate the generous 50 gram size because it lasts a long time without losing potency. ## Features - Asafoetida Powder Is A Crucial Ingredient In Indian Vegetarian Cooking. - Can Be Used As A Digeestive Aid - Can be used as a digeestive aid - Derived from a species of giant fennel, asafoetida has a unique smell and flavor. - Derived from a species of giant fennel, asafoetida has a unique smell and flavor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000JMFEL4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,218 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #21 in Indian Seasonings | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (592) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Manufacturer | L.G | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 1.8 x 1.8 inches; 1.6 ounces | | Units | 1.75 Ounce | ## Images ![Laljee Godhoo Hing (Asafoetida) 50gms - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KGfcnsOLL.jpg) ![Laljee Godhoo Hing (Asafoetida) 50gms - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/4107fb21O6L.jpg) ![Laljee Godhoo Hing (Asafoetida) 50gms - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41CK8uNYkEL.jpg) ![Laljee Godhoo Hing (Asafoetida) 50gms - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41k3ikJW+mL.jpg) ![Laljee Godhoo Hing (Asafoetida) 50gms - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510TTI6-OfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this asafoetida list having any other ingredients added to it? thanks** A: The ingredients are listed as: Gum Arabic, Wheat Starch, & Asafoetida.
