Hing Peda

Hing Peda is a popular Indian digestive aid, often enjoyed as a sweet and tangy "pachak" or candy after meals. Its distinctive flavor comes primarily from hing (asafoetida), a pungent and aromatic spice known for its digestive properties. Beyond hing, it typically contains a blend of other beneficial ingredients like dried pomegranate seeds (anardana), various salts (black salt, rock salt, sea salt), cumin, black pepper, dry ginger, and sometimes sugar, gulkand (rose petal preserve), or lemon juice to balance the flavors. Hing Peda is valued for its ability to stimulate digestive enzymes, alleviate common issues such as gas, acidity, bloating, and flatulence, and act as an appetizer, making it a natural and effective solution for overall digestive well-being.
