Marshmallow

Kathy · Marshmallow

Mallow is used as a gargle to treat mouth and throat ulcers. It is also useful for gastric ulcers.

The flowers and young leaves can be eaten. They are often added to salads or boiled and fried. They are also used in cosmetics for the skin.

Not sure how therapeutic that would be....................

might not be therapeutic but it would be a comfort

marshmallows on the end of a stick, held over an open fire till burned black then sandwiched between 2 digestive bickies with a lump of chocolate

how much more comfort food do you need.....

.....and if the food has comforted you, you must feel healthier.....is that enough proof Razz

Kathy

I've not actually, something to look into me thinks! Coco does the buying for the organic shop there might be something in the catalogues there, I'll get her to check it out. Smile

The actual Marshmallow content of most marshmallows is zero Sad

So much as they're great fun toasted just the right amount over the remains of a barbecue, the fluffy sweets aren't going to do ulcers much good!

Funny how the name has stuck even though they are so far from the original item.

Found some vegan ones. Very Happy
