Gumbo File is ground sassafras leaf, the traditional Louisiana ingredient stirred into gumbo. It does two jobs at once: it thickens the pot lightly and adds a subtle herbal, earthy depth. Beyond gumbo it goes into Creole and Cajun soups and stews and other Southern American dishes, and it performs consistently in large-batch cooking, so a restaurant group or prepared-foods line can hold the same texture and flavor across every batch.
Minimum order is 50 lb, with no upper limit, and every order is quoted at the day's market cost. We hold stock at our Los Angeles warehouse and ship by pallet, truckload or container; collection is available Monday to Friday, 7am to 3pm. Add Gumbo File to your quote and we will confirm pricing.
