FAQs
What is Asafoetida, and why is it used?
Asafoetida, also known as Heeng, is a resin extracted from the roots of the Ferula plant. It is widely used in cooking for its pungent aroma and flavor and as a natural remedy in Ayurveda to improve digestion, reduce bloating, and relieve respiratory issues.
How much Heeng should I use in cooking?
A small pinch (around 1/10 teaspoon) is usually enough for most recipes. It is typically added to hot oil or ghee to release its aroma before mixing with other ingredients.
Is Triphal’s Asafoetida (Heeng) wet or dry?
Triphal’s Asafoetida is primarily in its dry form but retains its natural purity, meaning the inside of the chunks might feel slightly sticky or moist when ground.
This is a hallmark of authentic Heeng resin, as it reflects its unprocessed, high-quality nature. Unlike mass-produced powders that often contain fillers, our Heeng is offered in its purest form to preserve its potency, aroma, and health benefits. You can grind it fresh as needed, ensuring every use delivers the unmatched richness and authenticity you deserve.
Is Triphal’s Asafoetida (Heeng) in its purest form?
Yes! Triphal offers Asafoetida in its purest form as dried, broken pieces of raw Heeng resin.
Unlike powdered Heeng, which is often mixed with additives like starch or gum, our Heeng chunks are minimally processed and retain their natural potency, aroma, and medicinal properties. These dried pieces can be stored easily and ground into powder if desired, making them a versatile choice for both culinary and therapeutic uses.
