| Asafoetida Powder |
Asafoetida (Ferula
asafoetida, family Apiaceae) is a resin gum which comes
from the dried sap from the stem and roots of the wild
fennel genus Ferula. Today, the most commonly available
form is compounded asafoetida, a fine powder containing
30% asafoetida resin, along with rice flour and gum arabic.
It derives its English and scientific name from the Persian
word for resin (asa) and Latin foetida, which refers to
its strong sulfurous odor. |
