| Asafoetida of commerce is extracted from the cut end of the root below the stem region of this and the other related species in the late spring. It is used in medicine, chiefly in veterinary work. It is also used as a flavouring."

| | "It is sometimes used in Persian and Afghani cooking, and especially popular in India. In some parts of the country (notably, Bengal; see nigella about some peculiarities of Bengali cooking), the brahmins refuse to eat [[allium_cepa_l|onions]] and [[allium_sativum_l|garlic]] and often use asafetida instead. Also in the cuisines of other North Indian places, it is not common to combine asafetida with either garlic or onion, even if no taboo applies to the latter. In the Dravidian South, asafetida is even more popular. The Tamil (South Indian) spice mixture sambar podi (see coriander) frequently contains asafetida. Although exceptions exist, asafetida has the reputation of being a spice for vegetables, not meats; now vegetarianism is more common in South India than in the North, which probably explains why asafetida is so much associated with South India, although its natural habitat lies in the North." \\ |

| "Ferula asafoetida Karst.(Apicaceae) spontaneously grows in many countries of the Middle East. In Iran, the plant exists in two varieties: one bitter, and one sweet. The use of the latter is preferred over the former. Even though Ferula asafoetida grows in more Southerly regions in Iran than Ferula gummosa, there are geographic areas where both species can be found. Its growth characteristics are similar to those of Ferula gummosa, but with a much longer vegetative cycle. The inflorescence forms after 12-14 years, and, as with Ferula gummosa, marks the end of life of the plant. The resin is collected from the upper parts of the root, after incising the totally dry plants. The resinous droplets are collected every 5-6 days, with the root being incised 8-10 times within 2 months. The yield is approximately 40-60 g per season." \\ | "Ferula asafoetida Karst.(Apicaceae) spontaneously grows in many countries of the Middle East.
