Hing, commonly known as Asafoetida (Heeng), is a strongly aromatic spice traditionally used in Indian cooking. It has a distinctive pungent aroma when raw, which develops into a savoury flavour when cooked.

Hing is commonly used in very small quantities to add depth and aroma to dals, curries, vegetable preparations and tempering.

Our Sourcing Approach

Our spices are sourced through our network of agricultural and spice suppliers in India, depending on availability and batch.

We focus on maintaining the natural character of the product and do not intentionally adulterate our products.

Important: Hing products can differ significantly in composition depending on how they are processed. If your particular Hing contains ingredients such as wheat flour, rice flour, gum or other permitted ingredients, the actual ingredient list on the product packaging should be followed.

We do not represent the product as certified organic unless the applicable certification is available.

Why Can Storage Pests Appear?

Hing is a spice product, and powdered or blended spice products can occasionally be affected by storage insects, particularly when exposed to warm and humid conditions.

The presence of an occasional storage pest does not automatically mean that the product has been adulterated.

We prefer appropriate natural handling and storage practices rather than relying on chemical pest-control treatments to prevent every possible storage insect.

How to Store Hing

Store in a clean, completely dry, airtight container.
Keep in a cool and dry place.
Protect from humidity and moisture.
Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
Always use a completely dry spoon.
Close the container immediately after use.
Avoid introducing moisture into the container.

About Fungus & White Worms

Exposure to moisture or unsuitable storage conditions can result in fungal growth/mould or insect larvae (white worms).

We generally do not replace Hing for normal natural variation or occasional storage insects.

However, if you receive a product showing visible fungus/mould, white worms/larvae or significant deterioration, please contact us with clear photographs and your order details so that we can review the issue.
