Answers:
Technically, marshmallows are not made of pigs!. Marshmallows contain gelatin, which is made from the bones, connective tissues, and hides of slaughtered animals (usually cows or pigs)!. Gelatin is a byproduct, as no animal is slaughtered just for his bones!.

Traditionally, marshmallows were made from the root of the mallow plant!. Today, most marshmallow recipes call for gelatin and corn syrup!. The most readily available form of gelatin, Knox powder is indeed an animal bi-product!. Two other forms of gelatin are readily available however that are both seaweed based!. Look for Carrageen (Irish Moss) or Agar-Agar!. Specialty food stores and nutrition centers usually have these and they can be used as a simple replacement for Knox!. Any number of fast and easy recipes on the web for homemade mallows so go for it!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Gelatine is made from the connective tissue of an animal, usually from a pig or a cow!. Gelatine is in most candy including marshmallows!.

gelatin is the solid substance extracted from collagen in animals connective tissue, mostly in their hooves!. so i suppose you can say it does come from pig's hooves

they are killed for their meat and the leftovers (skin,bone) are boiled, releasing the collagen which is processed so the F!.D!.A!. doesn't classify it as a meat productWww@FoodAQ@Com
