Tears of mastic come from this mastic plant and were used as one of the original chewing gums, hence the name as in to masticate or chew. They are chewy in a crunchy rather than chewy gum way and have cleansing taste akin to furniture polish which is strangely pleasing. The gum mastic tree, Pistacia lentiscus, comes traditionally from the Greek island of Chios. The mastic tree has shiny, dark-green leaves, with a rough trunk which exudes a lear resinous substance when tapped. This resin is gum mastic. Gum mastic trees start production when 5-6 years old and can be used for production for 65-70 years. The resin is collected, washed, cleaned and then laid out to dry. Gum mastic is usally sold as tears, or small pieces, of 2-3mm in size (1/8 inch), with a brittle texture and a faint pine-like aroma. Gum mastic has a flavour that is bitter and mineral-like that becomes more neutral after a few minutes of chewing, keeping its freshening flavour even after 15 or more minutes. Gum astic has many practical functions, as well as in cooking such as for authentic Turkish delights, breads, pastries and cakes, or for the spice rub for traditional Turkish doner kebabs. Mastic is now used more as thickening agent in ice cream, sauces and seasoning in Lebanon. In Egypt mastic is used in jams with a gummy consistency; in Turkey mastic is used in desserts such as Turkish Delight, dondurma, puddings like sütlaç, salep, Turkish brioches, and blancmange, porridge, and soft drinks; in Greece, mastic is used to prepare mastic liqueurs mastic like Mastichato, a spoon sweet known as "vanilla", beverages, chewing gum, cakes, pastries, sweets, desserts. Mastic is another specialist spice from Steenbergs ingredients, which we import from around the world, pack, blend and provide for our fabulous customers from our base in Ripon, North Yorkshire.

Review: Great quality - Really good quality mastic with a fresh flavour. A small amount goes a long way and it works perfectly. Well packaged and definitely worth buying again Review: Great quality, bought it to combat acid reflux issues - Great quality, bought it to combat acid reflux issues. I have concluded that although mastic gum may well be beneficial, chewing anything may be helpful as it produces saliva which is alkaline, plus the saliva produced helps to encourage food particles down the esophagus on their journey to the stomach. However .... BEWARE .... it's not like ordinary chewing gum. This stuff requires quite a bit of effort and if you are not careful, like me, you may well lose a couple of fillings and have to visit the dentist more than you usually do! Just my opinion, you understand. And my experience, I hasten to add! Good quality product. ## Features - Steenbergs Mastic Tears - 13g - baking ingredient for Greek and Turkish bread, pastries cakes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DPHGXP6 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 37,931 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 133 in Chewing & Bubble Gum | | Brand | Steenbergs | | Brand Name | Steenbergs | | Colour | Light, Natural Color | | Container Type | Packet | | Cuisine | Turkish | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 167 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free, Kosher, Vegetarian | | Flavour | Ice Cream, Vanilla | | Item Form | dried | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 13 Grams | | Item weight | 13 Grams | | Manufacturer | Steenbergs | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package information | Packet | | Size | 13 g (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Gluten Free, Kosher Certified, Vegan, Vegetarian | | Unit Count | 13 Grams | | Unit count | 13 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Steenbergs - **Colour:** Light, Natural Color - **Flavour:** Ice Cream, Vanilla - **Item form:** dried - **Item package quantity:** 1 - **Item weight:** 13 Grams - **Number of items:** 1 - **Package information:** Packet - **Speciality:** Gluten Free, Kosher Certified, Vegan, Vegetarian - **Unit count:** 13 gram ## Images ![Steenbergs Mastic 13g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eVS1FDqaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality *by M***. on 27 December 2025* Really good quality mastic with a fresh flavour.
