Strong aroma but adds great depth to curries and lentil dishes. A little goes a long way, making it good value in the long run.

This was on sale in Woolworths so I decided to try it. It is a vegan substitute for garlic. It is really good in Indian style cooking with vegetables

CHANG, KAI-CHI ✓

This hing powder has a strong, authentic aroma and adds a deep, savory flavor to dishes even in very small amounts. The texture is fine and easy to mix into cooking, especially for curries, lentils, and vegetable dishes. A little goes a long way, making it a great addition for anyone who enjoys bold, traditional seasoning.

this powder has a garlicky onion flavour. it does have a strong aroma but the flavour is actually quite mild. it is also said to aid in digestion

Gabby ✓

Be warned, this stuff is stinkyyyy! But it does make for a great substitution for garlic or onion if you’re sensitive. Works best if you place a few shakes into some heated oil - this helps to release the flavour. Can sometimes be tricky to find, but when you do it lasts for ages. Tip: once open, place in a glass jar so you don’t stink out your pantry.

I recently learned how to make Indian samosas, which we love in our household. The recipe had substitutions for the Indian spices that aren't readily available, but for the next time I made them I wanted to have the proper spices, so l ordered them online from a specialist spice shop. One ingredient in the filling is asafoetida, also known as hing. It's a wonderful yellow colour and it’s very tasty.

Good for Nepalese and Indian cooking offering aroma and taste that enhances dals and curries. It is budgey friendly. The strength and aroma might be weaker than other brands.

Rachel ✓

This is the first time I buy this product! it helps enhance the flavour of my dishes and matches with lots of different veggies!

Gene Banderas ✓

Hing powder is a pungent, aromatic spice commonly used in Indian cooking. A small pinch adds a deep, savory, umami flavor to dishes like dals, curries, and vegetable sautés. Its strong aroma mellows when cooked, giving a subtle onion-garlic-like taste. Overall, it’s a potent spice that enhances flavor with just a tiny amount. 🌿✨

Therese ✓

i pretty sure i bought curry powder which is my favourite. asafoetida is bought and suitable for indian cuisine.

Bronson Lloyd ✓

Yum!! Really good nice spice, bit of heat. So good. Had with meatballs and a good way to make thing exciting!

Min H ✓

great to add to curries for a very distinctive taste. only need a small amount since the flavour is quite pungent and can be a substitute for garlic and onion.

Shopper_SA B ✓

Great addition to curries: allows you to make a curry in a hurry

Emily Yiu ✓

A little goes a long way—LG hing powder adds a strong, pungent flavor that lifts any dish. Potent, aromatic, and perfect for seasoning.

Ashleigh Hargrave ✓

A little goes a long way. It adds that classic savoury depth to dals and curries and blends in smoothly when tempered in hot oil. Strong, fragrant and true to flavour.

RobsonGirl ✓

one of the best brand of natural herbs of fabulous quality out there. strong flavour and reliable.

Reecey ✓

a premium Indian spice that tastes great added to so many different curries and recipes , the only downfall is that it’s hard to find

angie D ✓

Spice for those who cant or don't eat onion or garlic, Hong adds a similar depth and savories taste to indian food. Also neutralizes acidic effects and helps in controlling the digestive system.

butternaan ✓

Wonderfully packaged great portion and adds the right amount of flavour without any after taste. Recommend.

J Leong ✓

This is super pungent and too strong for my liking. The spice is from the fennel plant and gives off a onion- like taste to food. Popular in Indian cooking. A little goes a long way and it is not suitable for those with a delicate palate. Will not buy again.

val Shopper ✓

A great spice to have in your pantry for all of your Indian meals yoy live to cook and enjoy. It makes your meal full of flavour and the perfect accompaniment to some basmati rice. A really great quick and easy meal to prepare and indulge in.

ajita Shopper ✓

Hing powder, or asafoetida, is a strong and aromatic spice essential in many Nepalese and Indian dishes. Just a small pinch adds a deep, savory flavor that enhances curries, lentils, and vegetable dishes. Its distinctive aroma mellows beautifully when cooked, bringing warmth and richness to traditional recipes while aiding digestion.

James ✓

Strong and pungent, just as hing should be — a tiny pinch goes a long way. Once it hits hot oil, the harsh smell mellows into a deep, savoury flavour that lifts dals, curries and lentil dishes. Really handy if you’re cooking traditional Indian food, and the quality is consistent. Just make sure to store it well because the aroma spreads easily!

SK K ✓

I tried the LG compounded asafoetida powder, and it really lifted the flavour of my cooking. Just a pinch was enough to give that deep, savoury aroma and taste that blends so well in dals and curries. At first, it has that strong, pungent smell, but once it hits the hot oil, it mellows out into a warm, onion-garlic kind of flavour that makes the dish taste more complete. I liked how fine and easy it was to use – it mixed in smoothly without clumping. Definitely a must-have spice if you want that authentic touch in Indian-style cooking.

Nice spices for Indian dishes. It enhances the indian dishes into next level. The only cons is it is a bit hard to find in grocery stores.

morgan- ambassador level 🚀 ✓

A strong and authentic hing powder with a pungent aroma that adds real depth to curries and dals. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts for ages. It can be quite overpowering if too much is used, but when balanced properly it brings a lovely savoury flavour.

Kelly Choy ✓

MJC ✓

thoughts & mention any pros or cons. I recently learned how to make Indian samosas, which we love in our household. The recipe had substitutions for the Indian spices that aren't readily available, but for the next time I make them I wanted to have the proper spices, so l ordered them online from a specialist spice shop. One ingredient in the filling is asafoetida, also known as hing, and I am really looking forward to using the genuine spice in the recipe. It's a wonderful yellow colour and should be really nice in it.
