 Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) is a plant-based ingredient derived from the roots of the marshmallow plant.This perennial herb has erect woody stems that grow 60-120 cm tall. Its leaves are alternate, ovate to slightly heart-shaped, with serrated edges and a velvety texture due to dense stellate hairs. The leaves can be up to 3 inches long and 11 inches wide, occasionally having 3-5 lobes. The stems die back in autumn but produce simple or slightly branched growth during the growing season. Flowers are pale pink, similar to those of common Mallow, but smaller and less vibrant. They appear either singly (axillary) or in clusters (panicles), with the latter being more common. The flowers have united stamens forming a tube, with kidney-shaped anthers. The blooming period is typically August-September, after which the plant produces flat, round fruits known as "cheeses".

The roots used are sourced from commercially grown plants that are at least 2 years old and harvested in autumn. According to the Council of Europe, marshmallow is a natural food flavoring substance. This classification allows it to be added to food products in small amounts, with some restrictions on its active components still to be defined. In the past, marshmallow has been approved for use in foods in the United States.

How to use:

Powdered Herb:

Powdered herbs can be used in a variety of applications.

You can add powdered herb to a variety of foods, such as smoothies, sauces, spreads, or baked goods like cookies. For children, mix the powder with honey or glycerin to create a paste. The thicker the paste, the stronger and more herbal the flavor will be. This method is often used to make medicines more palatable by combining them with sweet substances, a technique known as "Electuaries".

To ensure the purity of the herbal content, you can encapsulate your own powdered herbs at home. The resulting capsules contain only the herb itself, without fillers or additives. They can be taken with a liquid.

A poultice is created by mixing an herbal powder with a liquid, typically water, to form a paste that is applied directly to the skin. This approach can be beneficial in treating various skin issues.

Mix powdered herbs with water, fruit juice, or another liquid to create a concentrated herbal drink.
