fruit from the mallow plant

mallow plant
hales a treat that dates back to the pyramids

I will give you two hints
Rice Krispie treats and hot chocolate

marshmallows
a royal delicacy
enjoyed by pharaohs, nobility and the Gods
not for regular peons

also used to treat coughs
ease inflammation and soothe sore throats
who knew?
not me
until now
