http://faqs.org/faqs/food/candy/peeps/preamble.html "Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt where it was a honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis). Marsh-Mallow grows in salt marshes and on banks near large bodies of water. It is common in the eastern United States. Until the mid 1800's, marshmallow candy was made using the sap of the Marsh-Mallow plant. Gelatin replaces the sap in the modern recipes."

The name of this product comes from the mallow, a widespread plant that has been used for ever as a cure for sore throats. In Britain the plant is called marsh mallow because it grows best in marshlands. It produces a sap which foams up and was used as a chewable medicine. Today's marshmallow is made from corn starch and sugar and has no medical value. However it is foamy and chewable like the original.
The Mallow Plant

Jews Mallow in the plant world
The marshmallow is one of the oldest confections in the world. It was originally made using a plant called the marsh mallow. In Egypt it was a delicacy reserved for the royalty, but it was also a medicinal herb. The roots of the plant were boiled with sugar or honey. When it had thickened it was strained and allowed to cool.
The first "marsh mallow" was created in ancient Egypt, 2000 years ago. Egyptian physicians pounded the gummy root of the mallow plant into a medicinal syrup and ointment. Marshmallows weren't fluffy then. French candy-store owners began making what we call marshmallows in the mid-1800s. They, too, used the sappy mallow root, which they sweetened and whipped into an airy, but still sticky substance. By the late 1800s, the demand grew so large that manufacturers streamlined their process by adding starch and creating marshmallows in molds. About the same time, they substituted gelatin for the mallow-root gum (which had to be harvested from swamps). In 1948, marshmallow manufacturers sped up this process when Alex Doumak invented the "extrusion process" that manufacturers still use. They pipe the fluffy mixture through a long tube and cut the tubular shape into equal-size bits: marshmallows. The outsides are dried and dusted with confectioner's sugar so they can be handled. Marshmallow now comes in a variety of flavors and sizes, and as filling for various snacks.
