Mastiha typically has to be ground in order to use it in cooking. Mastiha powder is already ground, so using it is easy. As a spice, it lends a beguiling undertone, a little piny and a bit incense-like, but earthy, to all manner of foods. It works just as easily as a seasoning in tomato sauce as it does in chocolate sauce, pairs deliciously with all citrus fruits, works in meat, fish and bean dishes and is a seductive addition to breads.
Recipe Ideas
Since mastiha tears must be ground to use in cooking, this mastiha powder is convenient for anyone without a mortar and pestle. Mastiha has an exotic but versatile flavor that can be used in virtually anything from desserts, breads, salads, or even pasta sauces and fish. A couple of my favorite recipes are below but the possibilities are really endless!

United StatesChios Mastihs powder
I didn’t know it came in a powder form. What a blessing. Great product. Fast shipping too. Thank you for having it.
United StatesConvenient
Having this already powdered was a very convenient way to use the product. I wish there was information on the percentage of malodextrin used. I understand this additive is necessary to prevent caking and I have no issue with its use, but would like to know how much was used per amount of product.
