Asafetida is a gum-resin used as vegetable drug and as spice. It is extracted from the root of a kind of giant fennel. The gum resin has a strong, pungent odor reminiscent of garlic, onion, rotten egg or gaslight, which is why it is called fetid!
There are still roots in the jar.
There is a shock on the sheet metal cap.
