Gumbo just isn't the same without true gumbo filé made from dried and powdered sassafras leaves. Ground in small batches, these premium leaves are grown in Alabama exclusively for The Spice House. Pass the filé around the table so everyone can make a perfect bowl of Chicken Andouille Gumbo.

What is file powder? Filé powder is the term used for ground sassafras root. The root and leaves of the sassafras tree were used by Native Choctaw Indians before also being incorporated as part of the motley blend that is Creole cooking. The flavor is similar to root beer (the flavor of which comes from sassafras root) and has woodsy, rosemary-like notes to it. Sassafras powder is often used as a thickener more than a flavoring agent.
