Gumbo filé

Enjoy Gumbo filé

(Filé powder)
sassafras leaves

Gumbo filé powder is unlike sassafras roots and bark which are weakly carcinogenic. Gumbo filé powders are made from the tree's leaves and not considered carcinogenic. The Choctaw Indians chewed sassafras roots to bring down fevers. Gumbo filé is sprinkled sparingly over gumbo to thicken it and give it an earthy flavor.
