Definition: Asafoetida  is the dried latex  exuded from the rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula, a perennial herb that grows 1 to 1.5 m (3.3 to 4.9 ft) tall. The species is native to the deserts of Iran and mountains of Afghanistan and is mainly cultivated in nearby India.^[4] As its name suggests, asafoetida has a fetid smell^[5] (see etymology below), but in cooked dishes, it delivers a smooth flavour reminiscent of leeks.
