  • Add a small pinch to hot oil or ghee and let it sizzle briefly, then use in vegetable curries, dhal and bean dishes.
  • Use as a substitute for garlic and onion in low-FODMAP cooking.

Asafoetida has a pungent, unpleasant smell when raw, but when cooked it delivers a smooth flavour similar to leek or sautéed onion. It is made from the dried white resinous sap extracted from a variety of giant fennel which is difficult to handle, so starch is added to make it more manageable. Yellow Asafoetida is blended with turmeric and is used in Indian vegetarian cooking and low FODMAP diets.

Rice flour, natural gum, ferula asafoetida, turmeric, mustard oil

FAQs

A single origin spice comes from one specific growing region, rather than being combined with other spices into a blend. Because it's not mixed with anything else, you get the true, unaltered flavour of that spice.

A blend (like a Ras El Hanout or Souvlaki Rub) combines multiple spices to create a new, layered flavour. A single origin spice is just one ingredient on its own, which can be used in cooking, to create your own blends, or to season a dish with a distinct flavour.

We source each spice from its authentic land of origin, or from wherever in the world the quality is best. That's why you'll find, for example, Tasmanian Pepperberry, French Lavender and Cinnamon from Sri Lanka in our range, each is chosen because that region grows or produces it best.

Many of our ground single origin spices are milled locally in small batches to lock in freshness, rather than being milled overseas months before reaching Australian shelves. Whole spices are packed as they arrive from origin, so you can grind or use them as needed.
