Strong organic asafoetida spice blend with a characteristic aroma, ideal for Ayurvedic and Indian cuisine as well as dals, curries, pulses, and vegetable dishes.
Asafoetida, also known as hing or devil's dung, is obtained from the dried gum resin of a Ferula plant. Since the pure resin is difficult to grind, it is combined with ground fenugreek in this spice blend. The proportion of asafoetida is 20%. Both ingredients are from certified organic farming.
In its raw state, asafoetida has a very intense, garlic-like smell. When briefly sautéed in oil or traditionally in ghee, the aroma changes and becomes pleasantly spicy, slightly acidic, and reminiscent of leeks and onions.
Asafoetida is particularly suitable for dals, curries, and lentil, bean, potato, cabbage, and other vegetable dishes. The spice is best roasted sparingly in a little hot fat at the beginning of preparation so that its characteristic aroma can unfold. Due to its high potency, only a small amount is sufficient.

ORGANIC WITH HEART AND INTEGRITY
Bhumi stands for more than just organic. An important part of our philosophy is Ahimsa, the respectful and non-violent treatment of people, animals, and nature. That is why our product range is vegetarian-oriented and is intended to become even more conscious and sustainable, step by step. In the long term, we also want to use Bhumi to support local, non-violent agriculture. With every product, we want to show that conscious consumption, enjoyment, and responsibility can go hand in hand.
WE BOTTLE IT OURSELVES
We carefully bottle and package our products ourselves. This allows us to keep track of quality, freshness, and processing. Before a product is added to our range, we examine it thoroughly. We also ensure clean and gentle handling of the food during the bottling process. In this way, we want to make sure that the quality you receive is exactly what we would expect ourselves.
AS MUCH AS YOU NEED
Not every household needs the same amounts. That’s why we at Bhumi want to give you the freedom to shop for groceries in a way that fits your daily life. You can order products in classic pre-packaged form or choose your desired quantity for selected items. This way, you buy exactly what you really need. Less excess, more flexibility, and a more conscious approach to food.
