"A must-have for allium fanatics and for the allium allergic. When tempered in some oil, this resinous spice changes in smell and creates a flavor likened and complimentary to garlic and onions. I am a fan of funky flavors and smells, so I consider the scent of the asafoetida enjoyable. Some people will be averse to its potent smell, but If you can get past that initial hurdle, asafoetida can become your new secret weapon to punch up the funkiness, savory-ness, and umami-ness in any dish, in any cuisine." - Penny's Staff Picks, 2021
