Asafoetida (sometimes spelled asafoetida or Hing), is much maligned, starting with its name, which in Portuguese means "wings of stink". It is actually a wonderful and versatile seasoning from India, which, when cooked, takes on a delicate flavour and fragrance reminiscent of garlic and white truffle. It is a digestive and anti-flatulent, and should be added to vegetable dishes, particularly legumes. 

"The definitive location for all of your exotic cuisine needs, the South China Seas Trading Company does an excellent job of stocking unique items from all over Asia, Latin America, India and the Caribbean."

"Excellent spot to find otherwise obscure ingredients. I found long peppercorns after a year of searching and real wasabi!"

"I've been shopping at South China Seas for over 20 years and I'm always happy with the selection of products . . . I can always find the sauces and ingredients that I need for my favourite Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Latin American recipes."
