Why Do We Have Marshmallows?

Have you ever wondered why we have Marshmallows,
 you may think that why we have them is just because of sore throats but there is
actually a whole history about it
, let me tell you a bit of the true reasons why we have Marshmallows.

History of Marshmallow.
Marshmallows come from the sweet sap of the 'Mallow' Plant that grows in salty marshes
near large bodies
of water and grow 2 to 4 feet high.
The ancient Egyptians used the mallow root for making their candied delicacies for their Gods,
Nobility and Pharaohs over 2000 years ago.

Using marshmallows to soothe a sore throat is kind of an internet urban legend,
and it's one that's both right and wrong.  Marshmallows are simply sugar, water, air, and
gelatin. Sometimes gelatin-based products,
like Jello are suggested for sore throats, but there are few scientific reasons for why.

2000 B.C.
Ancient Egyptians discover a wild herb growing in marshland from which a sweet substance
could be extracted.
This substance, the sap of the marshmallow plant,
is combined with a honey-based candy recipe to create a confection so delightful
that it's reserved only for the pharaohs and the gods.

During those times,
Egyptians made individual marshmallows by hand by extracting sap from a mallow plant and
mixing it with nuts and honey.
This delicious sweet developed a new form when, in the 1800s,
Candy makers in France took the sap from marshmallow plants and combined it with egg whites
and sugar.

The Conclusion is that marshmallows were made for ancient Egyptian gods and came from
a tree sap called the “Mallow” plant

because it had a sweet taste to it and when the Mallow plant sap was mixed with Nuts
and berries
it was given to the ancient gods, plus a long time ago a french man mixed Egg whites,
Sugar and the Mallow plant sap to make the Marshmallows that we have today.
