Hing or Heeng is the Hindi word for Asafetida, which has also been known as devil's dung and stinking gum. (It is also known as asant, food of the gods, jowani badian, hengu, ingu, kayam, and ting.) It is a dark brown, resin-like substance that is derived from the root of Ferula, which is a perennial herb that grows mainly in India but also in Iran and Afghanistan. It comes from giant fennel plant sap, essentially. Hing has a distinctive, sharp, pungent smell when is raw but is extremely fragrant when added to hot oil or the clarified butter ghee to temper a dish or into a dish. Some say that when cooked it has the scent of leeks. Hing is also used as an agent in pickling. Hing is not just used in food in India. There, they believe it can aid with kidney stones and bronchitis. Those in Egypt consider it a diuretic, while it can help with ulcers and whooping cough in Afghanistan. It has also been used to combat everything from asthma, influenza, and a contraceptive.
