Marmite is a thick, black, sticky spread made from leftover brewer’s yeast extract. It has a distinctive, salty, slightly bitter flavor that some people love and others hate. Marmite is a good source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B12, as well as folic acid and iron.
Marmite was first produced in Burton-on-Trent, England, in 1902. It was originally marketed as a health food, but it quickly became popular as a spread for sandwiches, toast, and crumpets. Marmite is also used as an ingredient in soups, stews, and sauces.
