What is asafoetida?
Asafoetida powder is a powerful and pungent spice, widely used in Indian vegetarian cooking.
Adding just a pinch in any vegetable dishes, like curries and legumes dishes (especially
lentils), will enhance greatly their taste with a flavour that closely resemblances onion or garlic.
What are the benefits of asafoetida?
Asafoetida is extracted from a species of giant fennel and is perfect for people who can't eat rooting vegetable, such onions or garlic, but do not want to give up to a bit of extra flavour in their vegetarian dishes.
It has also been linked to positive effects regarding stomach health, like reducing gas and aiding digestion.
