Asafoetida Powder (Perungayam) – Aromatic, Digestive & 100% Pure

Traditional Indian Spice for Gut Health & Flavorful Cooking

Herbolaya’s Asafoetida Powder, also known as Perungayam in Tamil and Hing in Hindi, is a time-honored spice cherished not just for its bold, umami-rich aroma but also for its remarkable digestive properties. This golden spice has been a staple in Indian kitchens and Ayurvedic remedies for centuries, offering both culinary delight and therapeutic relief.

Key Benefits of Asafoetida

• Supports Digestion Naturally: Acts as a powerful digestive aid; helps relieve bloating, gas, indigestion, and stomach discomfort.

• Reduces Acidity & Constipation: When consumed with warm water or buttermilk, it helps soothe an upset stomach and regulate bowel movements.

• Enhances Flavor in Cooking: A tiny pinch of Hing adds a rich depth of flavor and aroma to dals, sambars, rasam, curries, and vegetable stir-fries.

• Balances Vata Dosha in Ayurveda: Used in classical Ayurvedic formulations to calm Vata-related imbalances in the body.

• Antibacterial & Antifungal Properties: Traditionally believed to help prevent infections and maintain gut health.

• Ideal for Vegetarian Cooking: Asafoetida mimics the savory taste of onion and garlic, making it a perfect choice for satvik or Jain diets.

How to Use

• For Cooking: Heat a pinch of Asafoetida in oil or ghee while tempering dishes like dal, sambar, and curries. This releases its distinct aroma and elevates the flavor.

• For Digestion: Mix 1/4 teaspoon in warm water or buttermilk and consume after meals to ease gas, bloating, or heaviness.

• For Wellness: Combine with ginger or ajwain (carom seeds) for enhanced digestive support during colds or seasonal changes.
