Tony Chachere's Creole Gumbo File' - 1.25 Ounce Canister (Pack of 2);

Gumbo File is finely ground sassafras leaves which adds an exotic flavor to all gumbos. Makes even the best gumbos a little bit better. A fantastic blend of premium sassafras leaves without which no gumbo is complete. Choctaw Indians from the Louisiana bayou country are said to have been the first users of this seasoning made from ground, dried leaves of the sassafras tree. Made from the dried leaves of the sassafras tree, file' is the essential seasoning for gumbo. Shake a little on top of gumbo or soups just before serving as a delicate seasoning and thickener.
