Our Gumbo Filé Powder is ground, dried sassafras leaves used as a thickening agent in Cajun and Creole cooking. This distinctive powder adds earthy, woody notes while thickening gumbo and soups. Filé powder is essential to Louisiana cooking, particularly for gumbo, where it provides both flavor and texture. The powder should be added after removing from heat to prevent stringiness.

Flavor Profile

Earthy and woody with subtle herbal bitterness and a dry, slightly savory finish.
Uses

Add filé powder to create authentic gumbo after removing from heat; never add it during cooking, as it can become stringy. Our filé also works as a thickener in gravies and sauces. Sprinkle up to 1/2 teaspoon over individual servings of gumbo or gravy rather than stirring it into the entire pot.
