Asafoetida-Ferula asafetida-Heeng is a spice that is an integral part of the Indian cuisine. It is a natural medicine and a go-to home remedy for digestion-related problems. A recent project by the JKMPIC-Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction centre has given Kashmir a chance to taste the spice cultivated in its own land. The JKMPIC has planted 5000 saplings of ferula asafoetida in 2019.
