Asafoetida powder is a mix of Rice Flour, Pure Asafoetida, Turmeric and Fenugreek powder
Gluten Free with a wonderful blend that still has the high aroma and strong flavour while being easy to use and add to any curry - sauce
Pure Asafoetida has several names, skunk stinky, rotten eggs, what on earth is that...! gag!! All for good reason - it really does stink
Food should be joyous, make your senses sing with delight and in some cases to have fun with and then still get the flavour, pure asafoetida is just this
Asafoetida comes from the roots of herb called Ferula, unlike other roots spices the dried latex is removed (gum oleoresin), its not the easiest job in the world and I guarantee the people who do this never have to stand in line for anything, when they get to the line it goes quickly
So why use this? When cooked with the aroma goes and the flavour similar to leeks/green veg comes through
