Marshmallow is a type of confectionery that is typically made from sugar, water and gelatin whipped to a solid but soft consistency.
Each summer more than 50% of all marshmallows sold are toasted over a fire. Ancient Egyptians were the first to enjoy a gooey treat now called marshmallow as early as 2000 BC. The treat was considered very special and it was reserved for gods and royalty. Marshmallow was made from the mallow plant (Athaea officinalis) that grows wild in marshes.
Marshmallow forms a protective layer on the skin and lining of the digestive tract. It also contains chemicals that might decrease cough and help heal wounds. There is nothing better around a campfire than gooey toasted marshmallows.
