Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 I understand that marshmallows are made with the bone marrow of animals (the gelatin), so our children do not eat them. But the ideas of s'mores is very appealing. Does anyone know about vegetarian marshmallows? thanks. ********************************************************************** Amy G.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 Amy, YEs, there are vegetarian marshmallows, but I can't remember where I got them. It was a company in NY I found on the internet (probably typed in " vegetarian marshmallows " or looked under kosher products. THey were imported from Israel and we got a case that lasted over a year. I'm out of them now and may start searching again. The Emes company used to make vegan marshmallows, but the factory in Lombard, IL burned down. I think it may still be possible to get them Also, some folks on the vegsource recipe board have been experimenting with homemade vegan marshmallows. Take a look at their archives.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 Hi Amy & everyone, I gave up on marshmallows once Emes stopped making them (snif!snif!). " Jet-Puffed " brand Marshmallow Creme is vegetarian (though not vegan due to egg whites) and spread it on the cracker to make s'mores.....

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 <<YEs, there are vegetarian marshmallows, but I can't remember where I got them.

For example, the kosher gelatin used by all the major yogurt companies (Dannon, Yoplait, etc.) is still animal-based: it's from ritually slaughtered cows rather than conventionally slaughtered pigs, so it can be certified kosher by a rabbi. This is not to say that it isn't possible to find a vegetable-based gelatin, from Israel or wherever, just that " kosher " from Israel doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't from an animal.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Amy, There used to be marshmellows that didn't have animal products made by a company called Emmes. It was a kosher company. Their factory burnt down and they discontinued the product. I do not know of any brand of marshmellow at this time that is vegetarian; although I'm still searching.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Please be aware that kosher marshmallows may not necessarily be vegetarian. Even though they are " parve " (meaning no meat or dairy), some Jewish organizations who give certification do consider that geletin, when it is prepared in a certain way, from kosher animals, kosher. The same goes for jello products. Always check the ingredients. You'll probably be alright though, if you go into a kosher store, the kind where Sabbath-observant Jews shop, and find marshmallows there.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 From Lisa FC I wrote to Pangea and this is the reply I got: We used to carry vegan marshmallows, but unfortunately the manufacturer went out of business. There are currently NO vegan marshmallows available anywhere. We're working on having them manufactured ourselves, but it is a very complicated process that may take several months. When we do manage to get them made, we'll be sure to post the news on our website (www.veganstore.com). Best wishes, Phil, Pangea Vegan Products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 No, these marshmallows were specifically vegetarian, not just kosher. They had eggwhite in them, though, if I remember, so were not vegan. If only I could remember where I ordered them! Susan ______________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2001 Report Share Posted May 12, 2001 Last week I discovered Emes 'kosher for passover' jell-o substitute made with no animal products; it uses carageenan [from seaweed] and locust bean gum for the gel agent. In the same health food store, 'kosher' gelatin and marshmallows had animal products. -- Be kind. Be of good cheer. Dick Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 I know this is a little late but.... I think I saw Martha Stewart make marshmellows on one of her programs. If you make it yourself, then obviously you can control the ingredients. I do not have the recipe :-( but I would think it could be found!!! Deb ----Original Message Follows---- " Susan M.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Some of Martha's recipes are on the food network website. Hers was not on there but this one was. It has both unflavored gelatin and egg whites. Are there items that could be substituted?
