I don't think I'd want it in the fridge. it is true that when I near my
spice area, I can tell it's there, even though it's in a tightly sealed jar.

I mostly hear of asafoetida being used to decrease certain aftereffects
of eating beand, so I'd have no problem leaving it out of the OP's
recipe. Actually, I don't like cooking such things with peanut butter,
but that's another story.
