Good Afternoon folks. I know I’m not only one that loves Vegemite. Especially having tad low sodium. Have tried Marmite; both are very good I’d say. Where do you folks get yours? Also, do you use it in stews and soups like mom and I have?
Vegemite and Marmite

My last jar of vegemite came from Amazon.
I have seen marmite at a local Meijer grocery store, but have not tried it.
I usually just use vegemite as toast spread. I suppose I could try adding it to soups.

If you do it on bread/toast add a good cheese on top. I prefer aged Swiss or Muenster.
You get it next to the VitaMeataVegeMin?
Add Vegemite anywhere you want umami flavor: soups, stews, and especially avocado sandwiches. Cost Plus carries both. Marmite is the older product, by the way.
I thought it was a fertilizer...... "Last week I treated my palms and Ocotillo with Vegemite, and they really greened up!"
It may work. Vegemite makes ladies grow hair on their chests. Don't go to the beach in Australia.

Tried it once in Oz. Didn't like it, too salty. The antipodes think it's great, fair dinkum. Remined me of melena.
Lots of odd things down under.

More than a thin smear scraped over a slice of bread is too much.
We can't get Vegemite here in Canada (at least not easily and affordably), but Marmite is readily available at all the major grocery stores.
I love Marmite, but had to give it up. It's very high in purines, and I think was a factor in me developing gout.

What is in Marmite? No animals proteins.............not so sure.
Your gout is maybe caused by something else.........HFCS, sugars, fructose.......
Anyway, I need to try Marmite again, it's been years. Vegemite is good, really thin, as vava says.
Marmite (and Vegemite) are yeast- based.
I was recently diagnosed with a medical condition that predisposes me to gout, but had cut out Marmite some months before after suspecting gout and doing some research.
I"m hoping to start eating it again, more moderately than I had been. It's very high in the B vitamins, which I prefer to get from food rather than pills.
Had it once when I was in Australia. Not in a jar though. They were little trays with a peel-off seal similar to butter or jam/jelly. All I ordered for breakfast was toast and coffee. The server was certainly having fun with it (and the reputation it has for being an acquired taste) and offered me a few packs to take home. It was interesting when I got back through customs though. I'd declared I had food and was asked what it was. I just called it "yeast extract", but when the customs agents asked again I pulled it out and it was "Oh Vegemite. That's fine."
Vegemite was a product of Kraft Australia for most of its existence and I think was part of Mondelez before they sold it off.

It's an excellent source of B vitamins, especially for vegans, as it's one of the rare non-animal sources of B12.
For those of us who prefer savory to sweet flavours, it is delicious.
This.
