Description

 Hing or Asafoetida is primarily used to flavor Indian curries and meals. This spice is made from the dried powdered resin of the Ferula assafoetida plant. This ingredient can be added to many dishes, including chutneys, gravies, curries, and dry side dishes. This herb has been traditionally used to relieve flatulence and gastric disorders, promote lactation in nursing mothers, and aid digestion. In addition to that, it can be used to relieve nausea, flatulence, and heartburn. Hing is a beneficial spice for almost everyone but should not be consumed by pregnant women due to its antispasmodic properties.
