This treat has been around since, 2,000 B.C. in ancient Egypt. Nowadays, we have flavors; which flavor you enjoy? I like the chocolate mint, and strawberry, vanilla, and just plain ones. I do loveems roasted. It is one treat a person with total renal failure can have. I cut and pasted this infro because why not lol, Marshmallow is a plant. The leaves and the root are used to make medicine for pain and swelling (inflammation) of the mucous membranes that line the respiratory tract. When I first ate marshmallow cake frosting, it is the best of all. Have a good National Toasted Marshmallow Day! Try to have a gr8 day
