In pharmacies and nature shops, it is called Arabic gum (not to be confused with gum arabic) and Yemen gum. <br/> In Greece, it is known as tears of Chios, being traditionally produced on that Greek island, and, like other natural resins, is produced in "tears" or droplets.<br/> Originally a sap, mastic is sun-dried into pieces of brittle, translucent resin.<br/> When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright white and opaque gum.<Br/> The flavor is bitter at first, but after some chewing, it releases a refreshing flavor similar to pine and cedar.<br/> Roman emperors used mastic along with honey, pepper, and egg in the spiced wine conditum paradoxum.<br/> Under the Byzantine Empire, the trade of mastic was made the emperor's monopoly.<Br/> In the Ottoman Empire, the sultan gathered the finest mastic crop to send it to his harem.<br/> During the Ottoman rule of Chios, mastic was worth its weight in gold. <br/> The penalty for stealing mastic was execution by order of the sultan. <Br/> In the Chios Massacre of 1822, the people of the Mastichochoria region were spared by the sultan to provide mastic to him and his harem. <Br/> Sakız Adası, the Turkish name for the island of Chios, means "island of gum".<br/> Mastic has been used as a medicine since antiquity and is still used in traditional folk medicine of the Middle East.<br/><br/> ** Directions<br/> Prince Mastic Gum Powder is made from 100% natural sap to be easily combined.
