SV Desafío fotográfico #114 📸🕵️ Golosinas de ayer y hoy 🍭 Marshmallows

It seems to me that if you have the same sweet tooth as me, then you must have tried marshmallows at least once in your life. What is it? Marshmallows are NOT. Pastille - no, souffle - also NO. Marshmallows are nothing but marshmallows! These are such airy white things that melt in your mouth. They are not only white, but also pink and red. Even colorful ones!

When I watched foreign films as a child, I was always amazed that they add such an airy-interesting thing to coffee or cocoa! And when I found out what it was, I began to ask my mother to buy the same delicacy. Of course, not often, but still bought. It was a holiday for our whole family. She has already grown up since childhood. I don't buy marshmallows for my children very often either. Why not often? Yes, because it is a sweet, even very sweet high-calorie product, which in large quantities can harm the body. After all, we all know that eating a lot of sweets is harmful.

Where did this funny marshmallow name come from? And it turns out everything is simple, there is such a marshmallow plant - medicinal marshmallow. He is also a swamp mallow. Previously, a special mixture was made from the marshmallow root, mixed with honey and chewed for sore throat. Can you imagine what an interesting origin the name has?

But the French added egg white to this marshmallow mixture, then the marshmallow component was removed from the mixture altogether. And so it turned out to be a marshmallow in which there is no component at all after which the delicacy is named. That's the kind of story marshmallows get.

There is an incredible variety of marshmallows: large and mini marshmallows, colored, in chocolate, with nuts, etc. They can be eaten as a separate delicacy, for example, in a snack with tea. In America and Europe, cocoa with marshmallows is a favorite treat for both children and adults. You can replace cocoa with coffee or hot chocolate.

In our family, this is an honorable treat that all children and adults love. Every time we buy marshmallows, it's a holiday for us. This is the taste of my childhood.
