The price of Hing in Iran follows certain parameters, which I will introduce you to the most important ones below:

• Type of Raw Hing (sweet or bitter)
• The area of the Asafoetida plant from which Raw organic Hing is oozed or extracted (stem or stump).
• Cultivation pattern
• The exact time of starting to cutting the stump of the Asafoetida plant
• The coordinates where Hing is extracted from
• Degree of purity (cleanliness and the absence of impurities that may have penetrated the Hing due to the wind flow)

What is the difference between the Hing that oozes from the stem and the Hing that is extracted from the plant stump?

The resin that oozes from the stem of the Asafoetida plant is called “Tear Hing”.

Tear Hing can be considered an early-yielding product of the Asafoetida plant.

Tear Hing is oozed due to the following:

• The impact of pebbles on the stem of the Asafoetida plant during strong winds, in the seasons, when the resin flows in the stem of the plant.
• Insect bites
• Making tiny cuts with the help of the cutter on the stem of the Asafoetida plant

Asafoetida resin quickly oxidizes and hardens after leaving the stem exposed to air.

Tear Hing is expensive because it has the least amount of impurity in it. The high rate of oxidation prevents many impurities from penetrating this resin while it is still in a liquid state.

The amount of Tear Hing is not so high compared to the Hing extracted from the plant stump.

The best time to collect the Tear Hing, which has a significant price, is usually the last year of the Asafoetida plant, which produces stems; because it is a little difficult to collect the Tear Hing from plants on the ground in the early life of them.

How to extract Asafoetida (Hing) gum resin?

Let’s talk about how to extract Hing, which will be interesting for you.

First, I would like to point out that the extraction of Hing is a completely empirical method and it should not be expected that all people who are active in the field of Raw Hing extraction will use the same method.

First step – identify

Identifying plants ready to extract Hing (identification of Asafoetida plants starts in early spring)

The second stage – folding and twisting the leaves

At the end of May, when the leaves of the plant have lost their freshness and gum resin flows in them, and after the complete stage of carbohydrate storage, they twist the leaves of the Asafoetida plant and they fold them to the place where gum resin comes out (basal cover) and then put a stone on it.

At this stage, the goal of the extraction team is to return the gum resin produced in the leaves to the plant root.

The third stage – killing

You probably have this question, why did we call this stage killing?

Because at this stage the Asafoetida plant dies and leaves its precious resin for us.

At this stage, the dried leaves are removed and with a shovel around the basal cover of the plant emptied to a depth of 10 to 15 cm and a diameter of 40 cm, and then with a special tool the fibers around the basal cover of the plant are removed and cleaned.

Then, for the prompt day (the day they predict that the plant stump is ready to start cutting) soil is poured around the plant stump to protect it from any kind of impact.

In this stage leaves are placed on the plant stump so that the plant stump is not exposed to direct sunlight; if the sunlight shines directly on the plant stump, the gum resin that flows in it will dry.

The fourth stage – extracting the Raw Hing

At this stage, the soil around the plant stump is removed again to reveal the area suitable for cutting.

Then, with a special tool, a cross-cut slice with a thickness of 1 to 1.5 Cm they made in the upper part of the plant stump, and the cut is covered.

After a few days, they come back and collect the Hing that has oozed from the cut place and again make another cross-cut slice with a thickness of 1 mm on the plant stump.

At this stage, usually once every 4 days, they collect the Hing that oozed on the plant stump.
