Rani Asafetida (Hing) Ground 3.75oz (106g) Gluten Friendly, PET Jar ~ All Natural | Salt Free | Vegan | Non-GMO | Asafoetida Indian Spice | Best for Onion Garlic Substitute

After a family member developed an allergy to plants in the ALLUM Family, including onions and garlic, this makes a perfect replacement in recipes. To achieve more of an onion flavor, add the hang powder early in the cooking process. To achieve more of a garlic flavor add the hang powder just before taking the food off the stove.

I have some inflammatory pain in my body, so I follow a FODMAP diet generally. The hardest part of that for me, a foodie, was not being able to use onions and garlic any more. I tried garlic-infused oils and they are fine, but I really missed the taste of cooked onions in my dishes. I had heard of Asefitida but never used it until I ordered this bottle and WOW! It is very powerful so you only use a little at a time, but when gently heated in oil it releases a nice onion/garlic like scent and flavor to whatever you cook. Just remember, a little goes a long way. It is a unique taste, not exactly like onions but similar, and I really like it.

A family member is on the fodmap diet which strictly prohibits garlic and white onion. I've used this in many dishes with good results. Yes, its quite pungent but very tasty in small amounts in entrees and sauces. A little does go a long way.

This is the best asafetida I've ever had. I got the gluten free version. It definitely ups the tadka game. I don't know what the heck was going on with all those other brands. Rani rules them all. If anything is wrong here, it's that the container is too big, you don't need much. To the people who think it's super gross, maybe they don't know what this stuff is. Less is more. The tiniest pinch does the trick. Tiny tiny pinch is the way.

Tastes good but this is NOT gluten free. It came with a sticker, covering up the original ingredients, that says it has wheat flour in it, and I gave the same reaction to this that I do to wheat gluten. I'm very disappointed. They shouldn't be selling this as gluten friendly when they obviously know it isn't.

The description is accurate. When you open it, it does smell like Sulphur. I tried to bloom it to get the garlic and onion aromatics, that did not happen. Many days later, my house still smells like Sulphur. I'm not sure the flavors were there either.

I am gluten intolerant and I read about this spice on a gluten community site. The spice provides a garlic - onion taste, yet it is gluten friendly. I have been using it, with success, to replace garlic and onions in recipes. It is a strong spice so adjust the amount.

I was looking for low FODMAP seasoning choices and came across Asafetida, or Hing, as an alternative to the onion and garlic powder I frequently use. As I am new to the diet I have yet to use it much. But I did use it in spaghetti sauce (with a sauce brand offering made to be kind to low FODMAP). It was good! It does have a pungent smell, as the manufacturer says, but I did not find it overwhelming. Now know, it is not onion and garlic. So it will not have that traditional smell while cooking that you may be used to, and that non-traditional aroma may linger for a bit. And it will not have the exact taste or full roundness of onion and garlic. But it def gives the food that essence of those and is good!!

Bought for a friend to add the flavour of onion to meals as she is on a low fodmap friendly diet.

The flavour is great. I add it to recipes to replace garlic and onion powders since I cannot have those. It is strong so you just need a little but it gives a such a great flavour. Highly recommend.

I just ordered my second lot it is great as a replacement for onion or garlic especially if you do a low FODMAP diet or a version of it. It's not cheap but a little goes a long way. Delivery was faster than I expected.

We absolutely love this stuff and as I’m allergic to garlic and onions this managed to replace them both effectively. It might smell a bit different and have a slightly different flavor to garlic and onion but it’s a good option when you don’t have the choice!

This one is not too strong and can be easily store without smelling bad in your kitchen. Good for beginners I recommend…
