Ground Sassafras aka File Powder

[chickenfriedgourmet]

I am trying to locate some "real" ground sassafras hopefully from a source in South Louisiana. Anyone know of a place to find some?

Check American Spice. I had good luck and service with them at Christmas.

Check cajungrocer.com; I believe CG carries "Cajun Chef" brand file. It's a LA company, but I have no idea where the sassafras originates. But if you're looking for grown in south LA, processed by hand, you can try Uncle Bill's Spice, made by Lionel Key: http://unclebillspice.com/ (Coincidentally, I gave my niece two sassafras trees for Christmas...can't wait 'til they're large enough to make some file.)
