Did you know?
One lesser-known fact about marshmallows is their historical origin. Originally, marshmallows were made from the root sap of the marshmallow plant (Althaea officinalis), which grows in marshes and other damp areas. Ancient Egyptians harvested the sap from the plant and mixed it with honey to create a sweet treat. Later, the French began whipping the sap with egg whites and sugar to produce a fluffy confectionery treat. However, modern marshmallows are typically made with gelatin, sugar, and corn syrup, with artificial flavorings and colors, rather than the sap of the marshmallow plant.
