Marshmallows are soft, fluffy confections traditionally made from sugar, water, and gelatin, which gives them their characteristic airy texture. Originating as a treat inspired by the root sap of the marshmallow plant, modern marshmallows are now commonly enjoyed in American and European cuisines, particularly in desserts and snack foods. They are free of fat but are primarily composed of sugar, making them high in calories with minimal nutritional value. While they provide a quick energy boost, they lack essential vitamins or minerals. Marshmallows are often used in recipes like s'mores, hot cocoa toppers, or Rice Krispies treats. They are a source of enjoyment, but overconsumption may contribute to sugar-related health concerns such as weight gain or tooth decay. Reduced-sugar or plant-based versions are available for those seeking a slightly healthier alternative to this classic sweet.
