Pure Asafoetida Crystal Bar (Hing) 50gm சுத்தமான பெருங்காய கட்டி

Asafoetida is a gum from a variety of giant fennel, which naturally has a strong and pungent smell, rather like rotting garlic (as in foetid). It's a very useful spice for those who can't or won't eat onion or garlic, as it adds a similar depth and savouriness to food.

The gum resin asafetida is used as a flavoring, food preservative, and fragrance. Asafetida being rich in fiber aids in digestion. It provides relief from stomach problems like gastritis, bloating, abdominal pain, flatulence and promotes overall digestive health. Due to its anti-microbial properties, it prevents growth of flora in the intestines and reduces the chance of stomach infection.

In addition to adding a distinct flavor to dishes, asafoetida has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. For example, in Ayurvedic medicine, hing is used to aid digestion and gas, as well as treat bronchitis and kidney stones.
