About Marshmallows
Marshmallows are soft, spongy confections typically made from sugar, corn syrup, water, gelatin, and sometimes flavoring or food coloring. Originally inspired by a treat made from the sap of the marshmallow plant, modern marshmallows are industrially produced and are associated with Western cuisine. They are often enjoyed roasted over a fire, added to hot cocoa, or included in desserts like s'mores and Rice Krispies treats. Nutritionally, marshmallows are high in sugar and almost fat-free, but they provide minimal vitamins, minerals, or other beneficial nutrients. Their caloric content comes primarily from simple carbohydrates, making them a quick source of energy but not suitable for sustained or balanced nutrition. While they can be enjoyed as a light indulgence, regular consumption may contribute to excessive sugar intake, which is linked to health issues like weight gain and cavities. Marshmallows should be savored in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
