1 oz - Organic Marshmallow Root Powder

Marshmallow, also known as mallow root and Schloss tea, is an herb found throughout western Europe, the Middle East and the eastern US.

The roots of the plant have long been harvested as a vegetable and were well known to the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. Although the Egyptians first produced a sweet treat from the roots, the confection we know as "marshmallow" today no longer contains any botanical materials. However, an extract made from marshmallow root is still popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, most notably as an ingredient in a traditional food called halva, which contains a varied combination of tahini, clarified butter, sugar, seeds, nuts and vegetables.
