Mastic Resin Granules by MASTIHA is a natural resin harvested from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, shaped into small granules often referred to as 'tears.' It is traditionally sourced from the island of Chios in Greece and is used both as a natural chewing gum and as a flavouring ingredient in food and drink.
The granule form suits people who enjoy traditional Mediterranean ingredients and are looking for a natural product to chew directly or grind for use in cooking and baking.
The main component of this product is Chios Mastiha, the resin collected from the Pistacia lentiscus tree grown on the island of Chios. It has a distinct aroma and taste and has long been used across the Mediterranean region both as a natural chewing gum and as a flavouring ingredient in recipes and beverages. The granules soften with chewing and can be swallowed, or ground down for use as an aromatic addition to culinary preparations. No other active ingredients are included in this product.
To use as a chewing gum, a small portion of granules is chewed until it softens into an elastic mass. The granules can also be frozen and ground into powder using a blender or mortar, then used as a flavouring ingredient in sweet or savoury dishes, drinks, and baked goods.
Ingredients: 100% Chios Mastiha (resin obtained from Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia)
