What is Hing Called in English? Discover the Power of Asafoetida

Do You Know What We Say Hing in English?
Hing, the soul of Indian tadka, is called Asafoetida in English. But it’s much more
than just a name. It’s a heritage spice that enhances aroma, supports digestion, and
evokes memories of home-cooked meals. With Bregano Premium Hing, you get
purity, potency, and authentic flavour in every pinch.

What is Asafoetida (Hing)?
Asafoetida is a resin extracted from the roots of the Ferula plant, native to Iran and
Afghanistan. It has a pungent smell when raw but blooms into an umami-rich,
savoury aroma once cooked. In Indian kitchens, it’s used in tempering (tadka) for
dals, curries, sabzis, and kadhi.

Cultural Note: In traditional Indian households—especially in UP and
Uttarakhand—no dal is complete without a sizzle of hing in hot ghee, evoking both
flavour and nostalgia.
