Hing (Asafoetida) – Also Known as Ferula Asafoetida, Food of the Gods

Hing, also known as Hing (Asafoetida), is a powerful, pungent spice derived from the resin of the Ferula plant. Its unique, intense flavor is indispensable in Indian, Persian, and Central Asian cuisines, commonly used as a flavor enhancer in dals, curries, and pickles. Often referred to as the “Food of the Gods” due to its rich aroma, Hing also goes by other names such as Ferula Asafoetida, Devil’s Dung, Stinking Gum, and Hingra.

Flavor Profile
Hing has a distinct, sharp, and sulfurous aroma when raw but transforms into a savory, umami-rich flavor when cooked. It enhances the depth of dishes and balances stronger flavors with a smooth, garlic-onion-like taste.
