Marshmallows used to be made from a more natural source using the marsh mallow plant as a gelling agent. However, due to this ingredient being expensive, most companies switched to using gelatin which comes from animal bones and hides or if you prefer the wikipedia entry ‘Gelatin is a protein produced by partial hydrolysiscollagen extracted from the bones, connective tissues, organs, and some intestines of animals such as the domesticated cattle, and horses‘ . Alongside the gelatin Marshmallows contain sugar, water, cornstarch, syrup, salt and flavouring.
