Bitter Asafoetida is oleo-gum-resin obtained from incised mature rhizomes and root crowns of Ferula narthex Boiss. of Apiaceae. It originates from high-altitude arid lands of Afghanistan, northern Pakistan and Kashmir and is defined as bitter-grade asafoetida in classical South Asian materia medica. This tall perennial herb requires long growth cycle before harvesting milky latex which hardens upon air-drying. Compared with common commercial asafoetida, it features stronger bitter taste, higher content of sulfur compounds and sesquiterpene coumarins. Widely used in Ayurvedic and Unani formulations for anti-flatulent, anthelmintic and antispasmodic purposes, it is rarely applied in culinary seasoning. It is seldom adopted in mainstream perfumery today and mainly traded as botanical extract raw material.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":836,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[46],"product_tag":[34],"class_list":["post-835","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-resin","product_tag-resin","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-left","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/botanaroma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/botanaroma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/botanaroma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/botanaroma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/botanaroma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/botanaroma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=835"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/botanaroma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=835"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/botanaroma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
