DEAN & DELUCA's Gumbo File is a dried ground sassafras. This spice is used to flavor and thicken the classic creole gumbo, where it is an essential member of the chicken, sausage, okra, rice and hot pepper team. Feel free to experiment! Try file in a chicken-vegetable curry, in a hearty fish, tomato and pepper stew, or to thicken a spicy bean and ham-broth soup.
