Marshmallows are a soft, spongy confection typically made from sugar, water, gelatin, and sometimes corn syrup or egg whites. Originally inspired by the ancient use of the marsh mallow plant's sap in medicine and sweets, modern marshmallows are primarily a product of Western confectionery. They are versatile, used in desserts like s'mores, hot chocolate toppings, or enjoyed as standalone treats. While marshmallows are fat-free and low in calorie density per serving, their high sugar content offers minimal nutritional value, making them more suitable for occasional indulgence than a regular dietary staple. Some varieties may incorporate artificial flavors or food dyes, which can be a concern for certain diets. Though popular for celebrations and recipes, moderation is key to enjoying marshmallows in a balanced diet without excessive impact on sugar intake.
