Marshmallows
Theyâ��re soft, sugary, and sweet, but what exactly is a marshmallow? Technically, marshmallows are soft candy, and have existed in modern form for over a century. The root of the marshmallow plant, â��â��althea officinalisâ��â�� (commonly found in salt marshes and swamps) was used to thicken honey-based treats in ancient Egypt, but modern versions typically use gelatin as a stabilizer. In 1948, Alex Doumak patented an extrusion process, and marshmallows are now made as a long tube, cut into sections, and rolled in a fine powder of cornstarch and powdered sugar.

This confection has many uses, including the old-fashioned campfire roast, sâ��more treats, as a hot chocolate accessory, a topping on sweet potatoes, and marshmallow recipes, including cereal treats and rocky road ice cream abound. Marshmallow fluff (also called marshmallow crÃ¨me) is a frequent ingredient in fudge recipes or may be used for sandwiches or other comfort foods.

While marshmallows do contain high amounts of sugar and therefore arenâ��t typically suitable for diabetics, they are a low-fat or fat-free food (depending on the manufacturer) and supply plenty of carbohydrates. They have little other nutritional value and should be used sparingly.

Bet ya didn't know this:

His Holiness the 14th the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He was born Lhamo Dhondrub on 6 July 1935, in a small village called Taktser in northeastern Tibet. Born to a peasant family, His Holiness was recognized at the age of two, in accordance with Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama, and thus an incarnation Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion.

The Dalai Lamas are the manifestations of the Bodhisattva (Buddha) of Compassion, who chose to reincarnate to serve the people. Lhamo Dhondrub was, as Dalai Lama, renamed Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso - Holy Lord, Gentle Glory, Compassionate, Defender of the Faith, Ocean of Wisdom. Tibetans normally refer to His Holiness as Yeshe Norbu, the Wishfulfilling Gem or simply Kundun - The Presence.
