Not really, but I thought I'd play along. :-)

The sugar cane or sugar beet can produce marshmallows with some
processing. Think of a rhubarb jam only more refined and better tasting.

Isn't "White Jam" a Captain Beefheart song?

but the original marshmallows (which date back to ancient
Egypt) were made from the root juice of a plant that is
called, surprisingly enough, the Marsh Mallow.
it's only recently that gelatin has replaced the mallow root
juice.
