After reading through earlier posts I am wondering if anyone has found gluten free asafoetida powder in USA or Australia. Frontier brand (USA) does not seem to be available any more.

Hi Anjili,

Please suggest how to take(eat) hing for intestinal gas( if u think it helps specially for eating Cauliflower sabji etc,) meaning should i take alone or mixed with something.
All i have is the powder ix fro the indian store. Is that ok?

Also in Hingwataska , rice should be cooked or uncooked.

I a in Canada, Toronto, need ur help,please.

Very informative,Thanks for the info.A quick question, should all spices be in equal qty (i am assuming hing will get to be too stong).also, can we pre-grind this and keep it in a bottle….thanks in advance

I also have gluten intolerance and cannot take wheat. I recently found out that Hing has wheat starch in it. If you do find an answer for this, please let me know. Thanks!

Asafetida powder contains Asafetida and wheat flour or rice flouer. As I have celiac disease, I cannot take wheat flour and, where I live I cannot find Asafetida with rice flour, could someone tell me how I can make the powder from pure Asafetida. Do I need to roast or fry Asafetida or just powder it? If it is to be fried, what oil should I use? Should rice powder be roasted? What should be the ratio of Asafetida and rice powder? Thanks.
