Gluten-Free Wild Hing (Asafoetida)

Wild Hing, also known as asafetida, is the dried sap of a mountain shrub, and its flavor is incomparable and essential to many South Indian dishes. The aroma is sharp when raw, but after blooming in a little bit of oil at the beginning of the cooking process, it adds a deep, savory, allium flavor.

It is a perfect addition for those on a Low FODMAP Diet, or anyone sensitive to garlic and onion, as it is reminiscent of herbs in allium family. As it is powerful, a little goes a long way as this little jar is going to last you for quite a while.

Most hing is blended with rice or wheat flour in order to prevent caking, but this Wild Hing by Burlap & Barrel is blended with turmeric to provide a grain-free and and gluten-free option for those with grain or gluten sensitivity.
