About Vegemite
Vegemite is a savory spread originating from Australia, made from brewer's yeast extract combined with salt, malt extract, and vegetable additives. Known for its umami-packed taste and dark, rich consistency, it has been a staple in Australian cuisine since its creation in the 1920s. Vegemite is rich in B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and folate, which play key roles in energy production and overall health. It’s free from added sugar and fat, making it a low-calorie option for flavor enhancement on toast, crackers, or in cooking. However, it is notably high in sodium, with one serving containing a significant portion of the recommended daily limit. Due to its salty flavor, moderation is advised, particularly for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Vegemite’s unique taste may be an acquired one, but its nutritional benefits make it a distinctive and health-conscious choice for many.
