It's a very specific tree, the gum doesn't taste like tree bark at all. It's natural gum and it's extremely aromatic. In Greece we also use it for some desserts.

Because it is sugar free and it does last hours. Every time you leave it on the side it regains the flavor. Mastic only grows in an island of Greece where I live and it's pretty cheap and healthy. It's also called the white gold of Greece or the tears of Chios. People have tried importing actual trees from Greece but they stopped producing Mastic as soon as they were replanted

Most expensive gum in the world :- the one that was chewed by RDJ

[@Sedef208]

For the people who don’t know why it’s so expensive it’s because it's very hard to grow and harvest mastic gum. Mastic gum is a resin that comes from the leaves of the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), which grows in the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece. It's harvested once every seven years, and there are only about 200 trees left on Earth. Plus even the royal families buys these gums Edit: And yes In Greece I’m aware of the fact it is quite cheap there but it’s kinda expensive In other countries I’m sure and it’s sold out from where I’m from

[@AdnanAhmed-nc1bk]

Wow interesting

[@aggelikimyroni9925]

Interesting! As i am Greek though, it's cheaper here, but i guess it can be even more expensive elsewhere based on what you said! How much does a kilogram of mastic gum cost where you are?

[@mastika_gum]

Yes and No, our brand is considered to be expensive due to the fact that we are using Natural Mastic in our flavor, and as you said it's expensive to get due to its rarity, and our company is well known within the Royal Families due to our Premium quality and due to the fact that our flavor last for approx an hour comparing to other brands. That's excluding of course our branding and the classiness of MASTIKA tin.

More info: Originally Mastic was only produced in Chios, Greece. But in 2006 Turkey planted several thousand Mastic trees in Çeşme which is 8 nautical miles from Chios and has similar ecological conditions. Mastika is a Turkish company, the Mastic is sourced from Çeşme. According to a 2021 analysis, the Turkish Mastic lacked 3 main health benefiting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components, this could be due to genetically modified saplings. So in the end you're paying a crazy price for a sub par product when you can just get original Greek Mastic for cheap.

So, for fellow nerds like me, mastic is actually an aromatic gum or resin that's excreted from beneath the bark of the Mediterranean tree Pistachia Lentiscus of the Pistachia Genus. It is a shrub like tree that is cultivated mainly for this substance on the Greek island of Shiosh off the west coast of Turkey. Mastic is the main ingredient in things such as synthetic rubber and chewing gum.

Mastixa tree is the tree were mastic falls down to the ground from the damaged brunches of the tree.I live in an island called Chios in Greece were it is produced.The amazing part about these trees are that they produce mastic only in the southern island.That means that if a tree is grown in any other part of the world it wont be able to produce that mastic.Mastic can be used to produce several medicine and gums.I have a lot of experience myself as to how it is produced because a have helped my father since a very young age

Mastication in English just means chewing, I think based off of some Latin root like masticare, which is why several languages have a word for chew that looks pretty similar to this. I guess the tree sap for chewing was literally just named "chew" lol
