Description
Cajun Chef Gumbo File 1oz is made from ground dried sassafras leaves and is a classic finishing ingredient for traditional Louisiana gumbo. Also known as filé powder, this Cajun and Creole seasoning is added at the very end of cooking, just before serving, to bring rich texture and a woodsy, balsam-like flavor that other seasonings cannot really fake, despite the internet’s brave little attempts.
Use Cajun Chef Gumbo File in gumbo, soups, stews, and other Louisiana-style dishes when you want that authentic Creole flavor and signature filé finish. Pair it with Louisiana Crawfish Tails 1lb, Louisiana Gumbo Crabs 1lb, Savoie's Pork Tasso 8oz, and Jazzmen White Rice 28oz to build a full Louisiana gumbo meal.
For a larger pantry or foodservice size, stock up with Cajun Chef Gumbo File 13oz. You can also find gumbo recipes, Cajun cooking ideas, and Louisiana food inspiration on the Creole.net blog.

Cajun Chef filé powder has been my go-to ever since I started cooking in the Louisiana style about a decade ago
Cajun Chef filé powder has been my go-to ever since I started cooking in the Louisiana style about a decade ago. The consistency is good and it dissolves quickly in my gumbo, giving it a thick and satisfying texture. Good stuff!
