Marshmallow Root
$7.00
Marshmallow root refers to the underground “runners” of the same plant that lends its name to the pillow-like confection we know today, although a less sugary version was first enjoyed by the Egyptians.
Marshmallow roots were also boiled and eaten as a vegetable by the Romans. In times of famine today, Syrians rely on marshmallow roots more than any other native plant to sustain them. Due to its naturally occurring mucilage content, marshmallow root is used to prepare oils and salves to soothe and soften skin.
