Do marshmallows come from plants or animals?

Marshmallows primarily come from plant sources. The main ingredient in traditional marshmallows is Gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen, but there are also vegetarian alternatives made with plant-based gelling agents like agar-agar or carrageenan. Additionally, the sugar, corn syrup, and flavorings used in marshmallows are plant-derived. Therefore, while some marshmallows contain animal products, many modern versions can be entirely plant-based.
