Marshmallows are soft, fluffy confections traditionally made from sugar, water, gelatin, and air, though some recipes may include corn syrup or other stabilizers. Originally derived from the sap of the marshmallow plant, modern versions are entirely synthetic. Marshmallows are celebrated in American cuisine, particularly for roasting over campfires, crafting s'mores, or topping holiday sweet potatoes, but are popular in various forms globally. Nutritionally, marshmallows are low in fat but high in sugar, rendering them a calorie-dense treat with minimal vitamins or minerals. While they provide quick energy, their high sugar content may contribute to blood sugar spikes and cavities if consumed excessively. Marshmallows are generally gluten-free, making them a viable option for some dietary restrictions. As with most indulgent snacks, moderation is key to enjoying this airy delight without compromising health.
