A Look at Vegemite
May 29, 2006 by Visual Recipes | Filed in Spotlight on Food | 10 Comments
Vegemite is a dark brown, salty food paste made from yeast extract, mainly used as a spread on sandwiches and toast, though occasionally used in cooking. It is popular in Australia and New Zealand and is known as one of Australia’s national foods.
Vegemite is made from leftover brewers’ yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacture, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste is difficult to describe but is extremely salty and slightly bitter, and as might be expected, malty.
Vegemite is often spread very thinly, with liberal amounts of butter first to help to soften the strong taste, or with sliced or melted cheese.

Having grown up in NZ I was used to Marmite. Now there’s a taste that takes some getting used to if your haven’t grown up with it.
When we moved to Australia they only had Vegemite which I disliked because it had a softer sweeter taste. But like everything - over the years you get used to the difference. Now I love Vegemite.
