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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***D on 16 May 2024* This adds the flavor and thickening that I was looking for.
