Wholesale Asafoetida 1kg

Asafoetida is a perennial plant from the Apiaceae family. Native to the mountainous regions of Iran and Afghanistan, it has been cultivated since antiquity for its aromatic resin extracted from its thick roots. This resin, once dried, emits a very strong and sulfurous odor, hence its name "fetid." However, once cooked, it reveals a savory aroma similar to garlic and onion, highly appreciated in Indian, Persian, and Middle Eastern cuisine. In vegetarian cooking, it is often used as a natural substitute for garlic and onion, ideal for enhancing dishes without an excess of spices. Unique taste, powerful properties, and traditional origin: asafoetida is an astonishing plant, both a spice of character and an ancestral remedy, symbolizing the oriental botanical expertise.
