| | Marshmallow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Marshmallows are popular with children and adults alike, and are eaten with or without accompaniments. | | | The traditional recipe used an extract from the mucilaginous root of the marshmallow plant, a shrubby herb (Althaea officinalis), instead of gelatin; the mucilage performed as a cough suppressant. | | | In the United States and elsewhere, marshmallows are also found in hot chocolate or café mocha (mochachino), mallomars, on top of candied sweet potatoes during Thanksgiving, in Rice Krispie treats, in ice cream flavors such as Rocky road, and several other foodstuffs. |
