About This

• Derived from the leaves of the Sassafras tree, this exquisitely earthy and woody spice is the Cajun and Creole Chef’s Best Friend! Thickens while providing AUTHENTIC DOWN-HOME FLAVOR to New Orleans Style Gumbos, Stews and Gravies.
• Filé powder is used in Louisiana Creole cuisine in the making of some types of gumbo, a thick Creole soup or stew often served over rice. Several different varieties exist. In New Orleans, what is known as Creole gumbo generally varies from house to house though still retaining its Native American origins.
• Gumbo can be made with or without okra or Gumbo filé powder seasoning or gumbo file powder louisiana. The preferred method in the historical New Orleans variation is with a French dark roux. The flavor of the dish has its origins in many cultures. Creole gumbo generally contains shellfish, and a dark roux, filé, or both.
• The dish combines ingredients and culinary practices of several cultures, including African, French, Spanish, and Native American Choctaw. Gumbo may have been based on traditional native dishes, or may be a derivation of the French dish bouillabaisse, or Choctaw stew
• Made in the USA: Our GUMBO FILÉ POWDER is proudly sourced, processed, and packaged in the United States, ensuring the highest quality and supporting local farmers and businesses.
