To add to this, it's a coniferous tree so mastic resin tastes delicious if you also enjoy coniferous flavours like juniper, rosemary, pine nuts, etc. They also put it in wine and you can get mastic honey. Tastes like a pine forest, in a good way.
We used to grab globs of spruce gum off the trees to chew. Pain in the ass to get off your fingers though.
