Wild Afghani Hing (Asafoetida) 100% Pure Resin (1 Oz) 28.5 gr

Funky. Wild. Intensely Aromatic. The Real Hing. This is hing in its purest form.
Caution: Extra Bold Strong Aroma!!!

Heray Spice’s Wild Afghani Hing (Asafoetida) is sourced directly from the rugged landscapes of Pashtun District, Herat Province, Afghanistan, where the wild ferula plant grows untamed. Harvested by Fazl Ahmad, a local forager with deep generational knowledge, this hing is collected as natural resin—not diluted, not blended, and free from fillers like rice or wheat flour.

Unlike commercial asafoetida powders, this is potent, deeply aromatic, and unapologetically bold. Just a tiny pinch, crushed and tempered in hot oil, releases an intense umami depth with strong allium (garlic-onion) notes. A little truly goes a long way—this is the secret ingredient behind exceptional dal, sambar, and rice dishes.
