Asafoetida is a resin obtained from the root of the Ferula plant and used as a spice. The figures here describe the resin, using data from literature sources. Per 100g, it contains 4g of protein, 1.1g of fat, 690mg of calcium and 22mg of iron.
Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Asafoetida is generally used in small amounts in cooking, so the quantity of these nutrients supplied in a dish will be much lower than the values shown for 100g. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
