Gumbo File Powder

The color was a little dark brownish rather than the olive green color

Impossible to find so far from Louisiana, here in N Idaho

I frequently make my own version of Jambalaya. My own because I'm just a Midwestern country boy, not a Cajun. The mass of vegetables, Celery, onion, peppers and others all cook down to leave lots of water i the pot. Filé gumbo thickens the brew and adds its own Cajun/Creole flavor.

... though I also frequently use black beans. Adding leftover meat and some spicy sausage like kielbasa or smoked beef, shrimp (optional) round it out into a hearty meal with a complex spectrum of flavor. Onions or garlic and carrots (lightly carmelized) balance the aromatics with sweetness. Celery would probably also be good, part of the traditional Cajun "trinity". I generally use kale since I always have some in the freezer.
MySpiceSage was out of stock for a couple of months so when it came back I bought a pound to make sure I never ran out! Now I'm giving some to all my family members for Christmas!

Had a lot of demand

Good aroma but weak on flavor

Good product, good price, good service. Enough said.

The powder does bring that true Gumbo taste to the meal

...it will be perfect, I'm sure, as I've come to expect from any spices I've purchased from them!

Excellent product!
