Gumbo File Powder

Thanks for contacting us. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Gumbo File Powder is a traditional Cajun seasoning made from the dried and powdered leaves of the sassafras tree. Often blended with herbs, Gumbo File Powder is a key ingredient in gumbo, a popular Creole and Cajun dish. Gumbo file has a distinct earthy, slightly spicy flavor and adds a unique texture to the dish. It is often used in combination with other spices like cayenne pepper and paprika. 

Use Gumbo File Powder to flavor and thicken your gumbo. Stir it in your pot of gumbo just prior to serving, or let each guest add it themselves.
