Asafoetida, is a very common culinary herb, and dirty yellow in color with a pungent smell. Also known as a devil's dung, stinking gum is extensively used in for the purpose of cooking many parts of the world, espicially in India...In India commanly known as Hing has yellow colour and used in powderd form.. Asafoetida was introduced to India by traders coming in from the North West (Afghanistan and Iran)...In India, asafoetida is used to commonly used to flavor spicy curries, stir-fries, sauces and in pickles. Asafoetida has also displayed some amazing medicinal properties and nutrition benefits. I never make my any savoury dishes without Asafoetida or Hing...
A pinch of asafoetida is normally added to food preparations consisting of potatoes, lentils, peas, etc. (foods which cause gas related problems).
When suffering from bloating, a pinch of Asafoetida in a glass of water helps relieve the suffering.
A pinch of Asafoetida when placed in the dental cavity relieves toothache.
Even a pinch of kitchen cupboard spice can claim significant health benefits. BUT REMEMBER Asafoetida can cause nausea and vomiting if consumed in excess....
