Rani Asafetida (Hing) Ground 3.75oz (106g) PET Jar ~ All Natural | Salt Free | Vegan | Non-GMO | Asafoetida Indian Spice | Best for Onion Garlic Substitute

These are great for cooking, but OMG do they stink! My son loves to make authentic historically accurate recipes. The one for this ingredient tasted great but I’m very noise sensitive, so I had to stay away from the kitchen while he prepared the meal.

I couldn't find this spice anywhere. Well, anywhere trustworthy. Was happy to find this shop on Amazon and will be returning. You need this one if you want to make authentic Indian food!

This is a fantastic product and one that I will buy again. Thank you for having an alternative for those of us with SIBO.

This spice is meant to replace onion and garlic. I'm currently on an acid free diet and onions and garlic aren't allowed. I'm still getting used to this spice. A little, and for me an extremely small amount goes a long way.

Amazing flavors of onion and garlicWill use in all my cooking instead of raw onion and garlic!

This product is not what the label says. Real asafetida (Hing) would "stink" up the entire house, if you opened the package. The reason I use this term "stink" is because to someone who is not used to the culinary use of this spice or to Indian/Persian cuisine, the smell of asafetida would be overwhelming. I cannot describe the aroma other than "stink"- and sometimes referred to as "stinking gum". The name contains the description of its smell ("fetid").I did not like the smell of raw Hing till I started cooking with it myself.This one has no aroma at all. The bottle tells you "whole", but actually each of those globules is 90% some sort of flour or binding agent. Real Hing is soft. I couldn't break these on a mortar-pestle. Since the binding agent is sort of a flour (wheat, I think), when I added these broken pieces to the tempering oil, they simply caked up. Hing is a resin and usually soft when fresh. It pops into a flowery look when put in hot oil. So, whatever they are selling, it ain’t "Whole Hing".

Good product

I saw this spice used as a substitute for onion and garlic on a cooking video. I think it worked well. It was very fresh and smells great.
