About Danodia Foods Indian Asafoetida Powder 1.8 OZ
Asafetida Powder is a dried latex resin that comes from the taproot of giant fennel plants. Asafetida's name is derived from the Persian word aza, for resin and the Latin word foetidus, or rotten. The flavor is very strong, combining garlic and onion with almost meaty umami notes threaded through it. While it’s got a potent flavor, asafetida, as its name indicates, is known more for its smell. In the politest terms, the smell has been described as a cross between Sulphur and rotten onions. To temper the smell our Asafetida Powder is “compounded”—it is mixed with edible gum, rice flour, asafetida and turmeric for color. This is the most common type used in cooking, as pure Asafetida is so pungent it must be kept separately from other spices or it will overtake their odor and flavor.
