Greece, Greek Chios (Xios) Mastic Gum (Mastiha or Mastixa) Box New. 10 gm

Greek Chios (Xios) Mastic Gum (Mastiha/Mastixa) 

Chios Mastic Gum is a 100% natural resin harvested from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia), which grows almost exclusively on the Greek island of Chios. It is collected by hand and forms small, crystal-like "tears" that can be chewed like natural gum or ground into powder for cooking and skincare.

Benefits

• Freshens breath naturally
• Helps support oral hygiene
• Traditionally used to aid digestion
• Rich in natural antioxidants
• Free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives

How to Use

• As chewing gum: Place 1–2 tears in your mouth. They may feel brittle at first but will soften as you chew.
• For cooking: Grind into a fine powder and use in desserts, breads, pastries, or ice cream.
• For beverages: Add a small amount to teas or traditional Greek recipes.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. During warm weather, the resin may soften or stick together, so refrigeration can help keep the tears firm.
