Vegemite is a savory spread made from brewer's yeast extract, salt, malt extract, and vegetable extracts, originating in Australia in the 1920s. Considered a quintessential part of Australian cuisine, it is often enjoyed on toast, crackers, or in sandwiches. Vegemite is rich in B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and folate, which are essential for energy production and nervous system health. It is naturally low in fat and sugar, making it a healthy choice when consumed in moderation. However, Vegemite has a notably high sodium content, which may not be suitable for individuals on a low-salt diet. Its strong, umami flavor is polarizing but cherished by those accustomed to its taste. Vegemite is vegan and gluten-free (depending on production), making it suitable for various dietary preferences.
