Why Choose Heavenly Heeng Silbatta Salt?

Hand-Pounded on Traditional Stone Silbatta

Unlike machine-ground commercial hing powder, our heeng salt is cold-pounded on a stone silbatta — a technique that avoids heat and is believed to help retain more of the natural aroma of the asafoetida and cumin.

Made With Real Kabuli Heeng

We use real kabuli asafoetida, not diluted or compounded hing powder cut with wheat flour or gum fillers — so what you taste is the ingredient itself, not a filler blend.

No Additives, No Preservatives

Just three ingredients — Himalayan rock salt, kabuli heeng, and roasted jeera. No anticaking agents, no artificial flavouring, no preservatives.

A Genuine Pahadi Namak

Rooted in generations-old Uttarakhand kitchen tradition, this is a genuine Pahadi Namak — not a modern spice blend dressed up as one.

Naturally Pure

✔ 3-Ingredient Recipe Only

✔ No Artificial Flavours

✔ No Preservatives

✔ No Anticaking Agents

✔ Hand-Pounded, Small-Batch

Supporting Himalayan Communities

Every purchase supports Pahari Haat, a women-led Himalayan enterprise working with rural communities across Uttarakhand under Kartavya Karma Trust's Project Udyogini, promoting sustainable livelihoods while preserving traditional Pahadi Namak-making practices.

A Note on Research

A 2018 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (Mala et al., published in BioMed Research International) found that a concentrated asafoetida supplement (250mg capsules, twice daily for 30 days) improved digestive comfort scores in adults with functional dyspepsia. It's worth noting this study used a standardized asafoetida extract in capsule form — not the small culinary amount used in everyday cooking — so this reflects research on asafoetida as an ingredient generally, not a specific claim about this seasoning.
