Spice Appeal Dill Seed, 16 Ounce

if your making Beef on Weck for the city of Buffalo, then this is what you want. i have enough to last me like forever. lol. theyre good, fresh and will buy again if i decide to make my Beef on Weck for a large crowd !!

I use a lot of cayenne for different purposes and I am extremely happy with this purchase this is a excellent quality of spice and has great flavor and great smell. Will definitely be buying this again thank you

I purchased this filé from Amazon after not being able to find it in any store near me and let me be the first to say (literally this is the first review) it's a great product. It's by far the best value around on filé. At about 50 cents an ounce, you cant beat it. However, one would think since it's so cheap it would be of poor quality, but this is simply not the case, this filé is high quality potent stuff. I use a ton of it in my gumbo and nearly a year later, about 6 large pots of gumbo, I still have over half of it left, and that is after I gave my cousin a quart sized container of it! One cannot simply do that if you bought a tiny 6 ounce container of filé. My advice is if you're a Creole like me and use a bunch of filé look no further than this. However, if you're just a casual spice experimenter this may not be for you as filé has a unique taste and smell that may not appeal to all and this being such a large container it would be a waste should you not like it. I recommend buying a small amount first in order to make a determination. Note: The container says it will expire about a year from when I bought it, but I have never known filé to go bad as my mom had the same little jar the entire time I was growing up. Edit: 13 years later and I’m still using this same filé

File powder is very expensive where I live. A small jar is around $7.00 and considering we make gumbo almost every other week, that doesn't always fit into our budget well. I was looking to buy in bulk and came up on a listing for this product on Amazon. It said that it was pure ground sassafras and not blended with thyme, so I decided to give it a try. We have eaten this product twice in gumbo and I'm not disappointed with its taste or quality. The large container is much more budget-friendly and I will definitely be buying more of this product as needed.

Tastes very good, but definitely doesn't have that traditional file flavor. Brought some to my aunt's house where 3/5 of us were from New Orleans and while everyone said it tasted good, we all agreed that it did not fulfill the file flavor we were looking for. Our second and third servings (come on it's New Orleans food, you eat multiple servings) we used our Rex's file. Much more traditional file taste. Overall the New Orleans folk all gave it the thumbs down as a gumbo file.. but said it would taste good for other foods. I will say, I added this to a turkey soup I made after thanksgiving, and good lord this was good in it! It's got the perfect flavor for general poultry stews/soups. While I wouldn't recommend this for picky New Orleans people and their gumbo, you can't go wrong as a seasoning this large for the price for chicken/turkey soups.

good product

Worth it.

The description is incorrect, this is a SINGLE 5 LB JAR, NOT 4 AS DESCRIBED!!! (but I assumed that as should you) That said, a great value BUT when mine arrived, the thin plastic jug it was in was cracked in a few places allowing air and who knows what else in. The product itself smelled and appeared very fresh and quite good. I tasted some from the center on my finger and it was excellent! I just couldn't take the chance and serve it to anyone. Had to dispose of all that amazing powdered pasilla chile.....tragic waste. Amazon, there was NO packing material in the box, now you're sending a $40 replacement because of 4 cents worth of brown paper packing missing. Lazy warehouse packer.
