Great question! Most compounded hing (the common yellow powder) DOES contain garlic powder. For truly NONG hing, look for 'pure' or 'compound-free' hing. Brands like LG Hing, Catch Pure Hing, and Vandevi Pure Hing are tested and garlic-free. Always check if the label says 'Pure Asafoetida' vs just 'Compounded Asafoetida'.
