Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between yellow hing and brown hing? Yellow hing is typically a compound hing (asafoetida blended with wheat flour or rice flour as a carrier) while brown/dark hing is more concentrated pure asafoetida. The yellow compound form is easier to measure for everyday cooking use.

Does LG Hing contain wheat? Many commercial hing products use wheat flour as a carrier. Check the current product label for the specific formulation, especially if you follow a gluten-free diet.

How long does a 50g pack of hing last? A 50g pack can last 3-6 months for a household that uses a small pinch daily — hing is used in such tiny amounts that even small packs provide extended use.

Allergen note: May contain wheat. Packaged in a facility that may handle tree nuts and sesame. Check label for the most current information.
