Marmite - US Delivery

Marmite is a funny sort of thing really, being a strong tasting and highly savory yeast extract originally made as a by-product of the brewing industry in Britain. Marmite is very high in B vitamins has no fat and is very low in calories.

If it sounds a little strange.. then, well, it is. British people either love Marmite or hate it but it's actually a lot nicer than it sounds. It has a strong, salty taste a little like beef extract, although it's 100% vegetarian (and vegan). A little like the Australian Vegemite spread, but with a more defined taste. Maybe a little reminiscent of the strong taste of anchovies or soy sauce, but really it's something that you need to try to understand. The key thing is to use only a little!

Typically Marmite can be served thinly spread by itself or with butter on toasted bread, or with baked beans or cheese on toast. It can also be added, sparingly, to cheese sandwiches, stews, pies or other savory dishes. Visit the Marmite FAQ for more information on this unusual food and its uses.
