Asafoetida is the dried latex (gum oleoresin) exuded from the rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula perennial herbs growing 1 to 1.5 m (3.3 to 4.9 ft) tall. They are part of the
celery family, Umbelliferae. Notably, asafoetida is thought to be in the same genus as silphium, a North African plant now believed to be extinct, and was used as a cheaper substitute for that
historically important herb from classical antiquity. The species are native to the deserts of Iran and mountains of Afghanistan where substantial amounts are grown. The common modern name for
the plant in Iran and Afghanistan is (in Persian) badian, meaning 'that of gas or wind', due to its use to relieve stomach gas.
