It is especially useful in no onion-garlic cooking, Jain-style recipes and simple home meals where hing adds depth without overpowering the dish. What Is Hing / Asafoetida? Hing, also called Heeng or Asafoetida, is a strong aromatic resin obtained from Ferula plants. It has a sharp smell in raw form, but when added to hot oil or ghee, it develops a deep savoury aroma that enhances Indian food. Pure hing crystals are more concentrated than regular compounded hing powder, so they should be used in very small quantities. Why Choose Uncompounded Hing Crystals? Most everyday hing powders are compounded, which means they may be mixed with flour, starch, gum or other carriers to make them easier to use. Uncompounded hing crystals are closer to the original resin form and are usually stronger in aroma and flavour.
