It is essential to Indian cooking and pleasantly aromatic and pungent raw, but it becomes mellow and garlicky when cooked in ghee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHing is a wild-crafted product, so organic certification is not available.

It smelled SOOOO GOOD without even opening the package!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI really love hing. I have fond memories of growing up in India, where my mother would give a tadka of hing in ghee (sauté hing in ghee) and add it to the food she prepared. Because of her tadka, the whole kitchen would be filled with a beautiful aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe wouldn’t have to “text” family members to come for the meal; everyone just rushed to the kitchen right away.

However, that all changes as soon as it is heated in a fat, such as ghee, where it immediately mellows into a full-bodied pleasant savory flavor.
