Frequently Asked Questions (Google's Top Searches)
What is Greek Mastic Gum (Mastiha)?
Mastic gum, known locally as Mastiha, is a natural resin collected from mastic trees grown exclusively on the southern region of Chios Island, Greece. Often called the "Tears of Chios," this resin hardens into clear, translucent crystals that have been chewed for over 2,500 years for their unique herbal flavor and health properties.
How does mastic gum help with gut health and digestion?
Mastic gum contains bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is widely used to ease symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort, heartburn, and bloating. Studies also suggest it helps combat H. pylori bacteria, a primary contributor to stomach ulcers and gastritis.
Can mastic gum help define your jawline?
Yes. Mastic gum is roughly 10 times firmer than standard commercial chewing gum. Chewing it regularly exerts greater force on the masseter muscles, aiding in facial muscle tone and masseter hypertrophy over time.
What does mastic gum taste and feel like?
When you first bite into a crystal, it has a firm, slightly brittle texture and a subtle pine- or cedar-like herbal flavor. As you chew, it softens into an elastic, clear, long-lasting gum with a refreshing, natural taste.
How do I chew raw mastic gum crystals?
Select 2–3 medium-sized tears. Place them in your mouth and allow your saliva to warm and soften them for 30–60 seconds before biting down. Once softened, chew as you would normal gum.
Can I use mastic gum in cooking or baking?
Absolutly. Mastic tears can be ground using a mortar and pestle (grind with a tiny pinch of sugar or salt to prevent the resin from sticking). It is a signature flavor in traditional Mediterranean baking, such as Greek Tsoureki brioche, Turkish dondurma ice cream, puddings, and savory marinades.
