Because of the plant it used to be made of. It' a Gui Mauve plant in french, or a Marsh Mallow in english. Scientific name: Althaea officinalis

    Funny bc I'm not sure we'll called it guimauve in french. Will say it's made out of guimauve and reserve the term guimauve for candy made the same way but with other form and colour.
    Also, it's unfortunate that guimauves, including marshmallow, are not gelatinased from marsh mallow roots anymore. It use to be vegan.
