"question": "Do you carry mastic gum and pure salep?",
"answer": "Pure Salep is one I've got covered — it's the wild orchid root powder used in traditional Persian ice cream (dondurma) and sahlab drinks, prized for the stretchy, thick texture it lends rather than for flavor.\n\nMastic gum itself is something I carry as a specialty item from time to time, though it's not always offered as a standalone listing in the shop.
