Both Vegemite and Marmite are concentrated yeast extracts.
Vegemite contains yeast extract, salt, mineral salt (508,509), malt extract,
natural color (150), vegetable extract, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate.
Marmite contains yeast extract, salt, carrot and onion extracts, spice
extracts, enriched with nicotinamide (niacin), thiamin hydrochloride,
riboflavin, folic acid and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12).
I think it is one of those foods you like better if you grew up with it. It
reminds me a little of Japanese miso paste. I like it-- but I can only think
of a few foods I DON'T like. (If I had been on Survivor, eating the grub
probably wouldn't have been a major problem for me-- particularly if they had
served them fried-- it's jumping off the cliff that would have ended it right
there for me).
