Tag: Cooking with hing

Used for centuries in traditional medicine, a pinch of hing can transform not only a dish's flavor profile but also offer significant health advantages. So, what is hing good for beyond its culinary use, and what medicinal properties does this pungent spice possess?.

Traditional Ayurvedic texts suggest that a daily dosage of 200 to 500 mg of asafoetida resin is typically used for medicinal purposes. For culinary use, only a small pinch (around 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon) is generally required and considered safe for most adults.
