Product Histor Chios Mastiha is the natural resin that is excreted from the trunk and branches of the plant "schinos" - the Greek name for the mastiha tree.

While it is flowing, it is a gummy, transparent liquid, but in 15 days it solidifies in irregular shapes.This product is unique in the world, because mastiha-yielding trees flourish only in a specific region of the island, the so-called Mastiha villages.Chios Mastiha has been identified as PDO (Protected Dsignation of Origin) in order to protect its unique place of origin.

Handpicked, pure mastic No preservatives – No color – No additives Natural Product THIS YEAR’S CROP. Mastic is a 100% natural product. That means that NOT all the pieces of mastic (or tears as they are called) are the same. Some pieces are bigger, some are smaller, some are harder and some are softer. How to use Mastiha You may take a few crystals and chew them, they will become gummy and freshen your breath. In fact, the word mastiha in Greek means chewing gum. For cooking, many consider it a spice and you can use ground mastiha (or even the whole crystals) and add it to your food preparation. Some ideas: add to bread, cookies, jams, cake, meatballs, shrimp. You only need small amounts, just a few crystals. When you grind the mastiha crystals, preferably in a mortar, make sure you grind it with salt or sugar to avoid having the powder stick together. You can use mastic as ordinary chewing gum, or you can ground it into powder (or at least in very small pieces) and use it as a natural medicine for peptic ulcers and general for stomach disorders. For gastrointestinal problems In a bottle of 1/2 liter of water, add 2-3 medium pieces of mastic. We leave them all night and the next day, we drink until the water is over. The pieces of mastic can be chewed during the day. This mastic is very beneficial to the stomach and to the intestine. Recipe for stomach ulcer Drink every morning 1/2 teaspoon of mastic powder with 1/2 glass of water for 2 months or more if necessary To use it, you need a mortar and pestle. Do not pound mastiha in a spice grinder or food processor because its gummy, sticky nature will ruin the blades! Also we have 100% pure natural mastic ground in powder, without additives, without chemicals. The natural gum mastic is ground by us, using only top quality natural mastic without any addition of other substances. For ease of use and safety we put the ground Chios gum mastic in plastic jars.Mastic powder should be kept in cool place, below 18 C (64 F) or, in the refrigerator. During summer time the heat in Greece (and possibly in your country) may reach very high temperatures. As a result, because our grounded mastic is 100% mastic without any additives, it may stick together. In this case please put it for a few hours in the deep freezer and then tap it (while in the jar) on a hard surface, so it will become powder again. Shipping Free Shipping Worldwide.
