Well, I know that Just Vegan in San Diego has them... but that's probably a little further than you want to go. Gourmet marshmallows are also getting to be a trendy item, and many of them don't have gelatin or anything non vegan because they use marshmallow root instead. You might call wholefoods to find out

also, kosher marshmallows MIGHT be vegan... k gelatin is sometimes made from agar-agar. but check the labels to see if there are eggs in there! If not, i know LA has a huge jewish community, so you might be able to find them in a more traditional jewish grocery or deli.

OH... well, this is what google has to say:

your milage may vary. Our local co-op has vegan mushmallos (as I called them as a kid) made by Vegan Sweets, which I believe is the Pangea brand.

And, if you're in the mood to expiriment, here's a recipe to make vegan marshmallows at home :)

I ordered 6 bags of vegan marshmallows from Pangea.

For the first time I was really disappointed with their lack of quality. They're yellowed and look gross. They melted OK, but they are NOT the same quality they used to be. Or perhaps I just got a bad batch.

if you find some good ones let me know!!

Passover's coming up, so kosher food stores will have marshmallows abounding -- lots I would guess that don't contain fish or any other dead animal type stuff.

there has been a big scandal with vegan marshmallows, which is why those icky yellow ones have replaced most of the others that vegan online stores were selling. the 'kosher' geletain was indeed made with animal product of some sort, which was discovered by testing, not by admission from whatever company was selling it (Emes?). not sure what they were, could be fish. once the word spread through the vegan marshmallow community all the vegan stores stopped selling them.

but all that is irrelevant now, there is a new vegan marshmallow on the block and you can find out about it here:
