Ancient peoples used the marshmallow plant (Althaea officinalis) for medicinal purposes. They used the gelatinous sap from the roots of the plant and as a remedy for sore throat. They sweetened it with honey. The Egyptians mixed the sap with nuts and honey to make sweets. The Romans ate the plant as a vegetable and it was a delicacy.
