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.
