Asafoetida, Ground

Excellent product in convenient packaging. Try a little in steamed rice.

I used to buy Asafoetida from a local shop as a substitute for onions.Unfortunately it contained so much wheat flour it triggered my IBS.

looking online I eventually found my way to Seasoned Pioneers,one of the few reputable companys selling Asafoetida without any wheat in it.
I bought 3 packs of ground Asafoetida and got it delivered a couple of days later.

This stuff is extremely potent compared to the previous brand I bought. I used to add about 1tsp to a big pot of stew but don't try that with the Asafoetida from Seasoned Pioneers.Try to use really small amounts at first,a pinch or 1/16 of a tsp might be enough.

Overall a great product and fast shipping .

I haven't got around to try it that much, except for in a sauce, but I have to say I'm really satisfied. Being on a low FODMAP diet and avoiding onion and garlic, I've really missed the flavour those two give to a dish, but asafoetida compensate to a certain degree. However, it's very potent, so try a little first before adding more. I've seen a couple of other asafoetida products on the market, but they contain wheat (gluten), which this doesn't.

I died and went to heaven. Not being able to eat garlic nor onion due to ibs, I thought my food had to be dull and tasteless. But not any more! Thank heavens for Asafoetida!

The warmth and friendliness of fried onions without the bulk. Good in pakoras and Indian snacks.
