Best Hing Powder In India
Iranian Hing are exported to India in raw form.
In this article, based on the field research and the experience that Phaidyme Company has in exporting Hing to India, I will first point out the main reasons for the interest of the Indian people in Iranian Hing, and then I will calculate the added value of one of the products that are produced in India with the help of Iranian Asafoetida (Hing) and sold in the market of this country.
Product: Pure Asafoetida Hing supplier
India is the main consumer of Hing in the world, and the taste and diet of Indian people have liked the taste of this natural and organic Oleo-gum resin since a long time ago.
Indian businessmen Buy Hing wholesale in raw form for two reasons:
- Making sure to buy the right kind and species of Hing
- Prevent fraud by sellers
Note: Indian businessmen usually do not have much knowledge of Hing (Asafoetida) varieties in Iran. So if you are reading this article from India, I suggest you read the following article to choose the right Hing.

The reason why Indian people welcome Iranian Hing
As the second most populous country in the world after China, India is one of the main export destinations for Iranian Heeng.
In India, Hing is mostly used as a garlic-flavored spice and is added to other ingredients for the following reasons:
- Odor reduction
- Prevent clumping
Note: One of the reasons Phaidyme Company experts emphasize that you should be careful when buying Hing is that if you buy non-standard and counterfeit Hing, you will endanger the health of many people who consume Hing in a processed form such as spices.
The high consumption of Hing in India can have many reasons, and I would like to point out two main reasons according to the field research conducted by Phaidyme company experts.
The first reason: is religious beliefs
There is a special religion in India called “Jain (जैन)” or “Jainism (जैन धर्म)”, which refrains from consuming root vegetables such as garlic and onions.
The followers of this religion, who are also called “Jain vegetarianism”, explain their belief:
A. When pulling these plants out of the soil, the microorganisms and small insects in the soil may be damaged.
B. Also, by pulling these plants out of the soil, the tuber and bud of the plant are killed as living organisms.
Therefore, the followers of this religion have replaced Hing spice instead of using garlic and onion, and they are so sure about their choice that sometimes they take Hing spice with them when they travel to use it when they need to eat.
The second reason: Air pollution
It is natural that when the population of a country is high, the pollution is also high.
In the beautiful country of India, the anti-viral and anti-parasitic properties of Hing (Asafoetida) have been proven, for this reason, they use Hing in powdered form and usually with food to cleanse the body.
Journey of Iranian Hing in India
Hing purchased from Iran (supply of raw material) after clearance and entering India, they go through the following path until the final supply in domestic and international target markets.
- Grading and drying
- Grind
- Mix and blender
- Production in the form of liquid, powder, crystal and granules products
- Packing
- Grading and quality control
- Marketing and sales
- Quality guarantee
Note: The products produced from Hing (Heeng) in India are mostly in the form of crystals (in this case it is more expensive) and granules.
The added value of Hing in India
In this section, I will investigate the added value of Iranian Hing in the domestic market of India.
Raw Hing is not consumed due to their pungent smell and lack of public acceptance.
As mentioned, Hing in India is mostly sold as spices and mainly in 10 to 100-gram packages.
Now, let’s calculate based on the Rupee rate on today’s date (2022/11/10), at what price and in what form will Iranian hing be sold in the Indian market after going through the processing and packaging process?
Note: The following brands are among the famous hing in india.

Calculation of added value of Asafoetida in India
Note: The calculations in this section are for product number 3.

Wheat flour | 4.5 |
Gum arabic | 2.75 |
Hing | 2.75 |
On today’s date (2022/11/10) in India (in Indian Rupees):
Name | Price/₹/KG |
---|---|
Wheat flour | 35 |
Gum arabic | 100 |
Hing | ? |
Note: The above prices are taken from the Indiamart website on the mentioned date.
Total Product Price (per 10g): ₹97
Based on the above information:
Name | Amount/GR | Price/₹/GR |
---|---|---|
Wheat flour | 4.5 | 0.15 |
Gum arabic | 2.75 | 0.27 |
Hing | 2.75 | 96.58 |
Therefore, the price of one kilo of Hing after processing is ₹35120 (in India).
Note: The important point in this calculation is that we did not consider the quality and type of Hing (bitter or sweet) used in this product. At the same time, the quality and type of Hing also affect the final price.
As you have seen, with simple processing on Hing, the added value of this valuable Iranian Oleo-gum resin can be increased to a large extent compared to its raw state.
