A salty black paste made from yeast extract. Its taste is famously polarising.
It is typically spread on bread products such as toast or crumpets. It's actually quite healthy, as it's packed with B vitamins, and probably replaces a spread much higher in calories.
- madeofpalk 4y agoI'm sure it itself could be healthy, but the mountain of butter it's usually paired with negates all those benefits.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoFrom someone who's never had it, I imagine the taste is similar to some heavy stout beers, with more salt. Would that be accurate?
- fbanon 4y agoIt only has a hint of beer taste to it. I would say it's more like a thicker soy sauce with hints of natto (fermented soybeans).
- ripe 4y agoI once described it as "like blue cheese, minus the cheese." An American who first tasted vegemite at age 40---and loved it! If you've never tasted it, you owe it to yourself to try it once.
- hinkley 4y agoIf you want a black substance high in minerals to add to your food, I highly recommend molasses. Molasses are good for preventing anemia in meat poor diets (such as peasants), which is likely why it was historically common in recipes. Once upon a time there was a similar substance from sugar beets but that has largely fallen out of use.
