Biblically Clean Marshmallows

Biblically Clean Marshmallows | Land of Honey


Biblically clean marshmallows! First off, did you know that most brands of marshmallows are Biblically unclean? It's because they contain gelatin, which is made from pig, unless clearly specified as beef/bovine, fish, or certified kosher gelatin. Gelatin is one of those things that can sneak into foods you don't expect, not just jello and marshmallows, but fruit snacks and candy, and even some yogurts and sour cream.

The good news is that there are Biblically clean marshmallows! Here are some common brands.

Dandies are vegan and made without gelatin. I have not tried them but they are available pretty widely at many grocery stores.

Paskesz is probably the easiest brand to find, at least in my area. Kroger and Meijer often carry these. I find their texture to be reasonably similar to regular marshmallows.

Making homemade. This is obviously not a brand, but if you get beef gelatin you can make marshmallows using any recipe. Just substitute the beef gelatin for the regular pork kind equally. To make marshmallows you basically heat a large amount of sugar to a specific temperature, add gelatin, and mix for about 10 minutes. Lots of people have told me that if they can make them anyone can.

Trader Joe's marshmallows are the most similar to regular marshmallows of all the brands I have tried. I am told they are only available seasonally so look for them in the summer months.
