Asafoetida, Afghan

With an intense aroma of garlic, onion, and funk (sometimes called "devil's dung"!), asafoetida (also known as hing) can be off-putting at first. But power through and your taste buds and tummy will thank you! We’re proud to offer this high-quality, pure (no wheat fillers!), and directly sourced house-blended option. We grind the resin-like pure asafoetida nuggets—sourced in collaboration with Mina Sahar Saffron, a woman-owned Afghan spice company—and mix it with Indian turmeric, making it easier to cook with. You only need a pinch for its incredible umami impact and digestive-aiding properties. Adds depth and savory richness to beans, gravies, rice and vegetable dishes, and may be the key to duplicating that luscious depth of flavor you crave from your favorite Indian restaurant.
