## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this container made of plastic or glass?**
A: There is a picture of it in glass here but if you click on it it takes you to two of the plastic ones.http://www.amazon.com/gp/huc/view.html?ie=UTF8&newItems=CPQBM7WCH8JYZ%2C1

**Q: what are the ingredients in Zatarain's File Gumbo**
A: the only ingredient is ground sassafrass leaves.  it really does make a difference in my opion. i have made gumbo before and it was good, but using the file powder made it better.  my husband really liked it. sprinkle just before serving and it can also thicken your dish.

**Q: Is this legal in the US due to sassafras ingredient ban?**
A: Yes, Zatarain's Pure Ground Gumbo File is legal. This product is made from sassafras leaves.   ~ Erica

**Q: Is it slimy like okra?**
A: No! It is a spice. It is like powder (very finely ground). I would put it in the same consistency as paprika.  It adds flavor to gumbo, but does not change how the gumbo is made.  Also not all gumbo have okra in them. I cool chicken and sausage gumbo without okra.
