Is It Seed Oil? · Gumbo

Is Gumbo made with seed oils?

Depends

Often, because of the roux

Gumbo starts with a roux, flour cooked in fat, and that fat is traditionally butter or oil but is often a soybean or 'vegetable' oil blend at restaurants. Our tracker estimates about 6g of PUFA for a bowl with rice.

How to keep it seed-oil-free

Ask what the roux is made with, or make it at home with butter or a good animal fat.
