Who is the inventor of marshmallows?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

This is a 19th century innovation by a man named Doumak who patented the extrusion process (the manner in which they are made) in 1948.

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.
