File’ Powder

“Sassafras albidum”

File’ is the powdered leaves of the Sassafras tree.  A necessary ingredient for Cajun and Creole cuisine, it is essential for making many types of Gumbo.  It has a slight aroma of eucalyptus, and the flavor is reminiscent of Savory and Thyme.  It is also used as a thickener but do not boil as the results are unpleasant.
