Vegemite (/ˈvɛdʒimaɪt/VEJ-ee-myte)[1][2] is a thick, dark brown[3] Australian food spread made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Callister in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1922, and it was first sold in stores on 25 October 1923.
A spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits as well as a filling for pastries, Vegemite is similar to British Marmite, New Zealand Marmite, Australian Promite, MightyMite, AussieMite, OzEmite, German Vitam-R, and Swiss Cenovis.
Vegemite has a strong flavour. It is salty, slightly bitter, malty, and has an umami flavour similar to beef bouillon (because it is rich in glutamates). It is low FODMAP, vegan, kosher, and halal.[4] It is known for being high in B vitamins.
The Vegemite brand returned to Australian ownership in 2017 when the Bega Group purchased it alongside other assets from Mondelez International (formerly Kraft Foods Inc.).[5]
