Sizes of Natural Chios Mastic • ANEMOS

Natural Chios mastic is available in a variety of sizes, depending on the shape and diameter of each tear.
This classification serves both commercial distribution and use in different applications, such as:

Chewing
Swallowing
Grinding into powder
Use in food
Pharmaceutical and traditional remedies

Mastic Powder – Ground Mastic Resin

Finely ground form of natural mastic, ideal for:

Oral intake using a measuring spoon, as a natural aid for gastrointestinal discomfort
Culinary use

⚠️ The powder is highly sensitive to temperatures above 17°C.
In warm conditions, it may clump or solidify into a single mass. This is a natural reaction of mastic resin. Even in such cases, once re-powdered, its properties and quality remain unaffected.

Extra Small Tears – Fine Grade Mastic

Ideal for:

Oral intake using a measuring spoon
Grinding into powder for personal use

Unlike powder, large (No.1), or medium (No.3) tears, these do not easily stick in warm conditions, making them particularly suitable for summer transport.

Small Tears (No.5) – Small Mastic Tears

The most popular and versatile size.
Ideal for:

Grinding into powder and consuming as a natural aid for stomach health
Use in food as a spice

It can also be chewed directly when a harder texture is preferred compared to medium or large tears — though its small size may make it less practical or comfortable for chewing.

Unlike powder, large (No.1), or medium (No.3) tears, this size does not easily stick in warm conditions, making it particularly suitable for summer transport.

Medium Tears (No.3) – Medium Mastic Tears

Ideal for:

Chewing
Grinding into powder after refrigeration (to ease breakage), then consuming as a natural aid for stomach health

In warm conditions, the resin may clump or solidify into a single mass. This is a natural reaction of mastic and does not affect its properties or quality.

Suitable for:

Chewing
