Burlap & Barrel - Wild Hing

Wild Hing Also called asafoetida, savory, deep allium flavor. Burlap & Barrel's Wild Hing, also known as asafoetida, is the dried sap of a mountain shrub, and its flavor is incomparable and essential to many South Indian dishes. The aroma is infamously sharp when raw, but after blooming in a little bit of oil at the beginning of the cooking process, it adds a deep, savory, allium flavor , it's a wonderful alternative to those with a sensitivity to onions and garlic. Those who cook with hing know that a little goes a long way.

Burlap & Barrel is a public benefit corporation that sources single-origin spices directly from farmers and foragers around the world. Co-founders Ethan Frisch (a former chef who worked with Floyd Cardoz at Tabla in NYC) and Ori Zohar built the company from a Queens apartment into an $8 million business by proving that freshness, fairness, and flavor can coexist.
