Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mastic is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus). In pharmacies and Nature shops it is called arabic gum (not to be confused with gum arabic) and Yemen gum . In Greece it is known as the tears of Chios, being traditionally produced on that Greek island, and, like other natural resins is produced in tears or droplets. Originally liquid, it is sun-dried into drops of hard brittle translucent resin. When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright white and opaque gum. The flavor is bitter at first, but after chewing releases a refreshing, slightly piney or cedar flavor.
