The first recorded consumption of marshmallow was around 2000 BC by the Ancient Egyptians. Scientists don\u2019t really know what this product looked or tasted like \u2013 they only know that people used the root of the mallow plant in the making of this treat. Later people mixed it with fruit or nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gelatin_And_Other_Non-Vegan_Ingredients\"><\/span>Gelatin And Other<strong> Non-Vegan Ingredients<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The marshmallow first came into being in the 1800s, when French confection makers began whipping the sap of the mallow plant with egg whites and sugar and then pouring this concoction into molds. Eventually, to help the sugary mixture keep its shape, they\u00a0<\/span>replaced traditional mallow sap with gelatin. This is the problem vegans bump into. This tricky ingredient is used in a variety of products, including marshmallows. What actually is gelatin? It\u2019s a protein that you get when you boil up animal skin, ligaments, tendons, or bones. That is what makes most marshmallows a no-go for vegans.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t end there. There\u2019s another pesky non-vegan ingredient that you should be on the lookout for. Albumen (egg whites) is also a commonly occurring product here. So you should carefully read the ingredient list on the label of the packaging if you want to avoid gelatin or other non-vegan ingredients that may be present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, most marshmallows are made with some combination of corn starch, corn syrup, sugar, water, and gelatin, and made through a process called extrusion. While being extruded, the marshmallow mixture is pushed through long cylindrical tubes, which gives them shape and pushes air into them giving a light fluffy texture. The marshmallow cylinders are then cut to create the pillowy little snacks we are all familiar with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, most marshmallows are not vegan. Does it mean you should forget about this fluffy sweet treat forever? Not at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe app is a foolproof way to go from zero to a weight loss hero in a safe and sustainable way!

Thanks to the recent rise in both veganism and vegetarianism, many leading manufacturers offer marshmallows that are entirely free from gelatin or egg whites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vegans <\/span>usually make marshmallows of some form of sugar plus a non-gelatin gelling agent. Popular options for this are agar agar or carrageenan, both derived from seaweed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a list of ingredients of a typical vegan marshmallow would look like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tapioca Syrup<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cane Sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filtered Water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tapioca Starch<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carrageenan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soy Protein<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural Vanilla Flavor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, vegan marshmallows are great for you.

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and cornstarch. Use a few spoonfuls of the mixture to coat the pan on all sides and corners. Set the pan aside and save the remainder of the mixture until your marshmallows are completely set and ready to cut.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a 4 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in 3\/4 cup water. On top of the water, pour the granulated sugar, corn syrup, agar powder and a pinch of salt. Give 1-2 very quick stirs. You don\u2019t need to completely combine it with stirring.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring to a rapid boil until the mixture has reached a temperature of 214-220 degrees F. This takes at least 15 minutes, but keep a watchful eye. Once the sugar mixture has come to temperature, remove the saucepan from heat.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Directions_part_2\"><\/span><strong>Directions (part 2):<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn your stand mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, on to low and cover with a towel to prevent any of the boiling hot sugar to splatter on you, as it can cause burns. Carefully and slowly pour hot syrup down the side of the bowl while the mixer is on low. Now, gradually increase the speed until you&#8217;re finally comfortable with it on high, as soon as possible. Just keep it covered with the towel to prevent splattering.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whip the mixture for 10 minutes until thick, almost like a shiny soft-serve ice cream consistency, creating ribbons as you pull the whisk up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immediately transfer the whipped mixture to the prepared 8&#215;8 pan and set out for 12-18 hours, uncovered. You need the tops to be completely dried out and not gooey at all. Once they are dried and feeling solid, you can cut them into desired shapes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have cut a marshmallow, toss it in the powdered sugar-cornstarch mixture so it&#8217;s coated in all sides. This will prevent it from becoming a sticky mess.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, you can roast it, or drop it in your hot cocoa. Enjoy!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in an airtight container for up to a week. If you must stack them, be sure they&#8217;re coated with powdered sugar mixture and separate layers with parchment paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum it up, most marshmallows are not vegan. Still, there are vegan options on the market that steer clear of gelatin and eggs. You can also try cooking this delicious snack at home. Remember that even vegan marshmallows are not the healthiest and most nutritious product out there, as they contain lots of sugar, so consume it in moderation.
