Marshmallow Powder

Marshmallow Powder can be used to describe two relatively different things.

It can be a powder from the actual root of the mallow plant. It is used rarely in modern cooking, though it was certainly used a great deal more in cooking up till the advent of gelatin. Now it is largely used in herbal remedies, especially as a binding agent in pills.

Or, Marshmallow Powder can be a commercial product used by ready-made food manufacturers. It is made from essentially the same ingredients as marshmallows are. It is used to add body and to thicken items such as meringues, etc.
