Asafoetida (Ferula asafoetida) is the dried sap obtained from the roots of Ferula plants . While it's native to Afghanistan and Iraq, asafoetida is commonly used in Indian cuisine where it's dried, ground into a spice, and referred to as hing. Hing is good source of antioxidants and it is also good for digestion. Asafoetida is used in savory dishes, often to add a more full flavor by mimicking the taste of onions, garlic, egg, and even meat.
