Order vegetarian marshmallows (vegan marshmallows!) from Vegan Essentials

At last, a source for fantastic vegetarian marshmallows (which are, in fact, even vegan marshmallows)! This means that they are also kosher marshmallows (although not necessarily Kosher marshmallows, as in officially approved – but they are free of animal products).

A lot of people may not realize that marshmallows are not vegetarian or vegan. That’s because usually marshmallow ingredients include gelatin (or gelatine), which traditionally comes from the bones of animals.

But they were nice enough to put me in touch with the source – who in turn told me where we could get them online.
