These dried leaves have a wonderfully earthy, almost tea-like aroma that fills my kitchen. I've been using them to thicken a simple gumbo, just a pinch at a time, and it works perfectly without any clumping.

I love learning the history behind these leaves—knowing the Acadians passed down this technique makes cooking feel more meaningful. The dried leaves grind down to a fine powder that works perfectly as a natural thickener for my stews.

Claire S. ★★★★★ Oct 26, 2026

I've been using these leaves to thicken gumbo just like the Acadians taught, and the fine powder it makes blends in perfectly without any clumps. The dried texture is really easy to grind, and it adds that authentic earthy flavor I was hoping for.
