About Marshmallows
Marshmallows are soft, aerated sweets, commonly eaten as confectionery or used as an ingredient or topping. Commercial versions are often made with sugar or similar sweeteners and a gelling agent, though ingredients and production methods vary. They are usually sold as small individual pieces.
They are typically pillowy, elastic, and sticky, with a sweet flavour and a pale colour, though shapes, colours, and flavours vary. They may be sold plain, coated, or flavoured, and can be toasted or melted for cooking. These forms are not identical in texture or composition.
