Organic Mastiha Chios 50G – 100% Natural Greek Mastic Gum, Gluten-Free & Sugar-Free Vegan Resin from Greek Farmers, Authentic Mastiha Tears for Daily Use

After using Falim for a year or two I wanted something slightly more natural. Heard about mastic tree gum and bought this.This is expensive, but a single piece can last you a really long time and by goodness, this is the toughest (and most enjoyable) gum I've ever had. Note: when you open the package, they are very small "pebbles" that feel somewhat hard. Put a small handful in your mouth and let them sit for 20 seconds before chewing so they soften up from your saliva first.Chewing hard stuff is really good for jaw & facial development. It's a myth that it damages teeth. As long as you aren't chewing literal rocks, it actually makes your teeth stronger over time.

I often deal with acid reflux, and chewing gum has been a helpful, non-invasive way to manage my symptoms. However, I’ve always been concerned about the artificial ingredients and plastic in regular gum. That’s why I decided to try this mastiha gum, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised!It’s firmer and slightly more abrasive than regular gum, so it requires a bit of care when chewing, but the benefits make it worth it. I’ve read that mastiha may have medicinal properties, which is an added bonus. While it’s more expensive than conventional gum, I’ve noticed that only a small amount of the resin is needed to create a satisfying gum-like texture, so the supply should last a while. Perfect in taste.

It didn't cure my guts but it is decent weird sap gum and I think it might bw helping a little bit. It's flavor is medicinal and weird. It takes a while to ship but it seems to be good quality. It does NOT melt in coffee (stuck on mug and spoon!). It DOES melt if you put a small amount in chili and simmer it for an hour (it seemed to dissolve entirely). It chews HARD and you could hurt your teeth or your jaws if you aren't careful! I bit my lips/cheeks crazy hard more than once the firsty try, so take it easy because it's definitely not bubble gum! It will shatter if you drink something cold, which is neat and might help if you get any stuck in your teeth. I don't dislike this but I'm not sure if these "tears" are the correct form of this stuff for me. Your milage may vary.UPDATE: I saw baking recipes online and tried grinding a little (1/4 tsp) in a mortar and pestle and adding it to sugar cookie dough to test flavor. When I chewed a (gross tasting) cookie the hardened tree resin, which had melted into the cookies, shattered and lacerated the inside of my mouth and my entire digestive system. It has been more than 24 hours since that cookie and I am not sure the bleeding is over yet. This stuff is extremely dangerous but the internet will lead you to believe otherwise.⚠️USE EXTREME CAUTION⚠️

I really don't know what some of the reviewers were talking about. This isn't sticky at all. If it has some medicinal properties then it is worth chewing, otherwise I don't really get it. It's basically small card pellets, and when you start chewing they coalesce into a small firm mass. The taste is a little like tree sap but it dissipates. It then chews like a very firm gum. I find if I chew too long I get a bit of a stomach ache. Maybe it promotes too much stomach acid..

I bought this because I was interested in natural gum and this one definitely looked intriguing. It has a faint smell that I can’t quite put my finger on (Maybe like vinegar and something but it’s very slight). The pieces themselves are very small and start out quite hard, but turns into a hard gum after chewing it. It doesn’t have any flavor really so you definitely want to mix it with something. It did at least give me the experience of chewing a natural gum.

This product is amazing. It's great for chewing and health. I'm not sure if your supposed to but I've been chewing the same gum for a couple days, just put it in the fridge sealed over night and it's back to how it was before.. and for all the bad reviews this product gets its simply because people do not know how to read instructions, it clearly tells you how to chew it at first and if u don't follow the instructions off it will stick to your teeth.

Good quality and the size makes it easy to grind into a power

I’m sure that the quality and everything was excellent on this gum but what many people don’t realize is that the flavor of it is not very pleasing, I would put the flavor somewhere between and weird herbal tea and sap.
