Asafoetida (Hing) – Ferula assafoetida

India is the largest producer and exporter of Asafoetida (Hing), a unique and highly aromatic spice widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian cuisines. Known for its strong, pungent flavour and odor, Asafoetida is derived from the resin of the Ferula plant, primarily cultivated in the arid regions of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Haryana.

This spice is typically available in powdered form or in solid resin blocks, and it is used in small quantities due to its powerful flavour. Asafoetida is an essential ingredient in Indian tempering (tadka), pickles, lentil dishes, and vegetarian cooking.
