Zatarain's Pure Ground Gumbo File

Sometimes just called filé powder for short, powdered sassafras leaf is a cornerstone ingredient of Cajun cooking, especially classic gumbo. It was originally used by cooks in the Choctaw tribe as a thickener and flavoring. Sassafras root is the basis of root beer, so the powder infuses everything with a similarly earthy, rich flavor, but with a more verdant quality. It should be added to dishes toward the end of cooking.

Spicewalla - Gumbo File Sassafras

Ingredients: Thyme, Sassafras Leaves. Description: Gumbo Filé Spice is a blend of thyme and ground sassafras. This spice has origins in the United States and is primarily used in Creole and Cajun dishes, and as a culinary thickener. It tastes good in soups, fish, poultry, game, meat and vegetable stews. Usually filé powder is added after the dish is removed from the heat, but while the liquid is still near boiling then it is stirred in and blended thoroughly.
