Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hing (Asafoetida)?

Hing, also known as Asafoetida, is a concentrated spice commonly used in Indian cooking to add a distinctive pungent aroma and savoury depth to dishes.

How much Hing should I use?

A very small pinch (approximately 1/8 teaspoon or less) is sufficient for most dal and curry preparations. Using too much will result in an overpowering flavour.

Does Hing contain gluten?

Most commercially available hing is compounded with wheat flour or maida as a carrier. Check the ingredient list on the pack carefully if you require a gluten-free product.

How should I store Hing?

Store in a tightly sealed container, away from other spices. Hing has a very strong aroma that can transfer to nearby ingredients. Keep in a cool, dry place away from heat and light.
