Ferula Hing/Asafoetida Plant

Hing, also known as Asafoetida, is dried gum extracted from the main thick root of a perennial herb called Ferula. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent in diverse Indian cuisines. It is also used for its medicinal properties. A hint of hing can enhance the taste of your dish wonderfully.

Welcome to Inner Flame Kitchen

We are pleased you visited us for the premium quality Taziki hing/asafoetida.

Taziki hing stands out among other hings for its warm and bold sattvic flavor profile and fragrance. It is 20 times stronger than other hing varieties. As compared to the intense aroma and taste of Taziki hing, the commonly available Uzbeki Crystals hing is quite mild.

Why is Hing Compounded?

There are 2 key reasons:

  1. Hing is preserved in air-tight containers. The high level of moisture content (16%) in hing increases the chances of mold formation. Therefore, to help preserve it longer, natural hing undergoes the moisture-removal process of sun-drying, grounding, sifting and then compounding (with rice/wheat flour) to absorb the remaining moisture.
  2. To balance the sharp bitter flavor and pungent aroma, raw hing is compounded and made consumable. When a recipe calls for a pinch or 1/4 tsp hing, they are referring to the compounded form of hing.

How to use Taziki hing in cooking

Hing holds a special place in Indian cooking, especially for boosting digestion. It is frequently used as tampering along with other spices. Hing works as a flavoring spice for innumerable Kashmiri meat recipes. It also serves as a natural preservative for pickles.

Hing is a befitting alternative to onion and garlic. It is often added to pastry dough before its baked/deep-fried. The exclusive flavor and scent of Taziki hing makes it a suitable spice to balance the taste of both sweet and savory dishes.

Traditional home remedies using Hing/Asafoetida

Hing aids digestion and helps relieve bloating. It also helps lessen headaches and get rid of flatulence.

  • To aid digestion: Mix a pinch of hing with yogurt (1/4 cup), water (1/4 cup) and salt. Stir well and drink up.
  • To work as an antidote: Apply a mixture of hing & garlic paste on insect stings/bites.
  • Low FODMAP Diet: Hing is a befitting alternative to onion & garlic.

Is Inner Flame Kitchen Taziki Hing Gluten-Free?

Yes...but we do not claim it to be gluten free. Here is why:

We do not add any gluten to our hing. We use organic rice flour instead of wheat flour to compound the hing. Furthermore, to test if the hing is mixed properly we use the natural ingredient turmeric rather than artificial agents. Almost all hing makers in India process wheat in the facility, so there may be trace amounts of gluten in some batches. Many of our customers are gluten free and they have not complained to us.

Types of Asafoetida

  • The water-soluble variety is usually milky white or pale.
  • The oil-soluble type has a reddish or darker tone.
  • Hing is available both in rock & powder form.
  • We are glad you finally made it! If you are an asafoetida aficionado, this Taziki Hing for you. 100% natural and organic. Asafoetida is the English name for hing. Taziki hing is a premium grade hing that is 20 times stronger than regular hing. You can also order a sample sachet from our website, if you prefer to try it first.
  • Is this Asafoetida Organic? Yes. Asafoetida is naturally organic and it grows in the wild. No pesticides or fertilizers are used in growing asafoetida. Since asafoetida grows in Iran and Afghanistan, there is no USDA certification there.
  • What makes asafoetida Certified USDA organic? According to USDA rules, if 95% of the ingredients are certified organic then the product can be USDA certified organic. So if you see certified organic asafoetida, it means there is less than 5% asafoetida in the compounded form. Since we like our asafoetida strong, we chose not to pursue USDA organic certification.
  • Why is asafoetida compounded? Asafoetida is compounded for two reasons. 1) Asafoetida naturally has higher level of moisture (16%). Moisture will cause mold. To preserve asafoetida, it is first sun dried, ground, sifted and then compounded with a flour (rice or wheat) to remove remaining moisture. 2) Hing in its raw form is very potent and not consumable. Compounding neutralizes hing and makes it ready for consumption. Most recipes require 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of asafoetida in its compounded form
