Hing, also known as asafoetida, is a pungent spice derived from the resin of the Ferula plant's roots. It's commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines, especially in vegetarian dishes where it serves as a substitute for onion and garlic in recipes for those who avoid them. The spice has a strong, distinctive odor, often described as foul or reminiscent of sulfur when raw, but it mellows out when cooked, adding a savory, umami flavor to dishes. In terms of appearance, it typically comes in powdered form, ranging from pale yellow to brown. It's used sparingly due to its potent flavor and aroma, adding depth and complexity to curries, stews, lentil dishes, and pickles.
