Perugayam

We are engaged in supplying and trading of Perugayam in Mayiladuthurai , Tamil Nadu , India. Perugayam is the dried latex exuded from the rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula, a perennial herb that grows 1 to 1.5 m tall. The species is native to the deserts of Iran and mountains of Afghanistan and is mainly cultivated in nearby India.As its name suggests, asafoetida has a fetid smell, but in cooked dishes, it delivers a smooth flavour reminiscent of leeks.It is also known as devil's dung, asant, food of the gods, jowani badian, stinking gum, hing, hengu, ingu, kayam, and ting.The plant is thought to be in the same genus as the now extinct silphium.
