Product Description
This truly is the best hing ever. This raw hing (asafoetida) powder has a pleasant aroma and is essential to Indian cooking. It comes from the dried resin of a plant from the fennel family. Traditionally, hing has been used as a digestive aid, added to legumes (beans and peas) and gas-producing vegetables. Our hing powder is pleasantly aromatic and pungent raw and becomes mellow and garlicky when cooked in ghee. It is Raw, Non-GMO, and Non-Irradiated. VERY POTENT & AROMATIC - USE ONLY A PINCH This hing powder is 8-10 times stronger than most compound hing powder sold in grocery stores. INGREDIENTS: Asafoetida (Hing), edible gum. Absolutely nothing else added. NOT Tested for Gluten. Contains no gluten ingredients. Processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing ingredients. Our pure aromatic raw hing contains only the minimum amount of edible gum (Gum arabic) to make an easy-to- use powder. Edible gum is the hardened sap of acacia trees. Sourced from: India.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is Asafoetida and how is it used in cooking? A: Asafoetida, commonly known as hing, is a spice derived from the resin of a plant in the fennel family. It is used in Indian and African cuisines as a flavoring agent and is especially valued for its ability to substitute garlic and onion in recipes. A small pinch adds a unique, aromatic flavor when cooked, particularly in ghee.
- Q: Is this hing powder gluten-free? A: Yes, our Pure Indian Foods Hing is not tested for gluten and contains no gluten ingredients. However, it is processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing products, so cross-contamination is a possibility. If you have a severe allergy, please exercise caution.
- Q: How should I store hing powder for optimal freshness? A: To preserve the potency and aroma of hing powder, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it tightly sealed in its glass jar to prevent moisture and air exposure, which can diminish its flavor.
- Q: How potent is this hing compared to other brands? A: Our hing powder is 8-10 times stronger than most compound hing powders available in grocery stores. Due to its potency, it's recommended to use only a small pinch at a time to achieve the desired flavor in your dishes.
- Q: Can I use hing in a low FODMAP diet? A: Yes, hing is suitable for a low FODMAP diet. It can be used as a flavorful alternative to high-FODMAP ingredients like onion and garlic, making it an excellent option for those who are sensitive to these foods.
