car51, thank you for posting the "Nutrition Information" label photo. Could you check the ingredients too? I've seen some of these that have some synthetic vitamin B varieties (niacin, thamine, riboflavin, folic acid) added to artificially boost the vitamin content, the yeast does not naturally that high concentration of vitamin B.
That added riboflavin will make your pee yellow.

Bear, FYI, here is what's on the jar currently sitting in my kitchen...
I need a Yank to tell me what this stuff tastes like. I've always been curious about it, but have never come across any.
Thank you QP. Your photo confirms that Vegemite has added niacin, thamine, riboflavin, folic acid. The natural concentration of these vitamins in yeast extract may not be high enough to be significant in a 5 gram serving.
IndyFan, you can buy Vegemite on line, Amazon has it for example:

It tastes like nothing else I've ever had, so it's difficult to compare it to anything. You'll just have to try it.

When I visited OZ in the mid '90s, I HAD to try Vegemite, being one of the quintessential Australian foods. Was disappointed that I didn't like it, as I really wanted to.
Same thing with anchovies.

I discovered recently that a Central Mrkt carried both Veg & Mar. However, both are more than $1/oz.!! >$8 for a small jar? Didn't realize that stuff was so expensive.
For now, I'll pass.

That is normal price for Vegemite in the US, AFAIK. However, this is not something you will be eating in the same quantities as peant butter and jelly. A little goes a long way. That little 8 oz jar lasts me a year.

I have always wanted to try Vegemite, but I can't exactly find it in a local grocery store, and I can't quite stomach $9 for a 220-gram jar on Amazon. Maybe I will just have to take a little trip.

About 2 months for me.

I've been in love with it ever since and eat as much as I can afford.

One bite was all I could do. I tried to do my best Andrew Zimmern Bizarre Foods two bite impersonation but couldn't get the 2nd bite past my lips.
Salty is an understatement and I actually love salty stuff. It was so salty it was inedible. The actual taste of it besides the salt was not pleasing either to me. Don't even want to discuss the smell for fear of inducing a flash back and triggering my PTVD( Post Traumatic Vegemite Disorder ). Couldn't shake the taste of it even with various liquids either. Had to brush my teeth and rinse with Scope to banish that foul stuff from my palette. YUCK!
With that said I defend other's right to eat it and like it.

20 years ago, we used to prank people by putting Vegemite under their car door handles...they go to open...feel...look...at their fingers and then cautiously smell.....The look on their face translated to seeing and smelling something that was the opposite of very tasty.
I have tried eating a bit of it.....I suppose it is an acquired taste.
