Is this meal spicy?
Yes, this meal has a fair amount of spice. While not all gumbos are spicy, many are, and we prefer a little heat! Of course, heat is subjective, so if you are the type to find a medium salsa way too hot, then you might steer clear. If you have a tolerance for and enjoy spicy foods, you'll find this dish to be a nice medium-level heat.
What is Gumbo?
Gumbo is a flavorful Creole stew combining African, American Indian and French influences. Most contain roux, which is where our version varies from tradition. All Good To-Go meals are gluten-free, so we rely on the okra to thicken the stew. The holy trinity of bell pepper, onion and celery is cooked with tomato, okra, chiles and filé powder to create this unique regional dish.

As a nod to the Deep South, we have created a lightweight, dehydrated version of the Creole classic, Chicken Gumbo. Ours is a traditional gumbo: a thick stew loaded with chicken and okra, the “holy trinity” of green bell pepper, onion and celery, flavored with filé and spices, served up with long grain rice. A great way to jazz up any adventure, you’ll swear it’s homemade.
This product has been lab tested with an extended shelf life and will have a minimum of two years to consume until its expiration date.

I've tried a lot of pre-made meal companies. Good to Go is the tastiest.
I recently hiked the 100 Mile Wilderness and ate almost exclusively Good To-Go meals. They are all delicious and the warmth and spice was such a treat out on the trail!
