Frontier Bulk Asafoetida Powder, 25 lb. box
Ingredients: Rice Flour, Asafoetida, and Gum Arabic.
Product Notes: Asafoetida is an oleogum resin obtained from the living rhizomes and roots of Ferula assa-foetida, a branching perennial relative of fennel. In its most pure form (tears) it is a solid or semi-solid mass, with an intense, pungent, alliaceous odor, and bitter, acid taste. When used in minute quantities it enhances and blends the flavors of other spices, and imparts a delicate, onion-like flavor.
Origin: Pakistan
Sourcing Notes: This product is Wild Crafted
Storage: Asafoetida must be stored in an airtight container as its strong odor will affect other foods and spices.
Asafoetida is widely used to add an onion-like flavor to cooked foods. Iranian and Indian cooks (especially in the south and west) prize asafoetida, and it's particularly relied upon in the Jain and Brahim castes, where onion and garlic are forbidden. Try asafoetida (sparingly) in any vegetarian soups, pickles, or fish dishes. It's also good with grains and lentils. Use it to enhance other flavors, or as a replacement for garlic and onions.
