Real Marshmallows with marshmallow root

Those "marshmallows" were created in the 1950s with pure sugar and/or corn syrup with no benefits. I found out that real marshmallows are made from the marshmallow plant. In fact, over 2000 years ago the marshmallow treat was made from the root of this medicinal plant and provides many benefits. Benefits include gut, respiratory and immune system health, help with healing UTIs, small kidney stones, and is a natural diuretic. I make these real marshmallows with marshmallow root, honey and bovine gelatin. Start the night before by…

The Deception of Flour
Grains are one of the most nutritious foods on earth. Grains are made from grasses that hold all of the nutrients inside of the seed, which also make up the plants fruit. Our body needs 44 essential nutrients absorbed from food. Wheat contains 40 of these nutrients that we need to function properly.
