Product Information

The alternative Marmite spread was invented out of necessity, as imports of Marmite were disrupted during the First World War.

In UK, it makes use of brewer’s yeast – a by-product of the brewing industry – which is made from dried malt barley. Add to chilli, tofu and veggie burgers – even lasagne tastes great with a spoonful of the black stuff and is a great way to mask the taste (if you’re not a fan) while reaping the benefits. Just five grams of marmite is approximately 7% of a person’s recommended daily dose of sodium, which means that eating too much Marmite may lead to hypernatremia, or sodium poisoning.Culture Trip adds that Vegemite is more intense than Marmite, which has slight sweetness and milder flavor in comparison. A study found that Marmite can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals — especially with young children. After all, they're both dark spreads made from brewer's yeast extract that lends a savory umami flavor, meaning both work well as a soy sauce substitute.

While many of us have spent the past decade sheepishly avoiding monosodium glutamate (MSG), the compound that gives Marmite its uniquely savoury taste. Other products in the range are Marmite Mini Cheddar Bites, Marmite crisps, Marmite jumbo rice cakes and Marmite flavored oven-baked cashew nuts. The makers of Vegemite promote that their product is also high in B vitamins and provides riboflavin, folate, and niacin.Vegemite was created out of two necessities: one was the fact that World War I disrupted the import of Marmite to Australia, and the other was to find a use for leftover yeast that was being discarded by beer breweries. Marmite and Vegemite are both spreads made from brewer's yeast that are often used in place of butter on toast or as a sandwich filling.
