What is asafoetida? Benefits, Side Effects and Uses
Asafoetida is the dried sap or gum resin obtained from the roots of the Asafoetida plant. It is usually dried and ground into a coarse yellow powder for culinary or medicinal purposes.
Although asafoetida is native to Afghanistan and Iran, it is commonly used in Indian cuisine.
As a condiment, asafoetida is known for its strong pungent smell, which is caused by its high concentration of sulfur compounds. In fact, it is sometimes called smelly gum due to its unpleasant odor.
However, when cooked, its taste and smell become more savory, often described as similar to leeks, garlic, and even meat.
