What is th origin of Asafetida?
Answers:
Asafoetida, also known as devil's dung, stinking gum, asant, food of the gods and giant fennel, is a species of Ferula native to Iran.
The resin-like gum which comes from the dried sap extracted from the stem and roots is used as a spice. The resin is greyish-white when fresh, but dries to a dark amber color.
