About Yeast extract spread
Yeast extract spread, sold under names like Marmite or Vegemite depending on the country, is intensely savory and salty, built almost entirely from concentrated yeast. Protein is surprisingly high for a condiment, and it carries a notable fiber count alongside a significant carbohydrate load. The flavor is polarizing: deeply umami and bitter, best used thinly on buttered toast or stirred into soups and stews as a flavor booster rather than eaten by the spoonful. Sodium is extremely high, so a little goes a long way nutritionally and gastronomically.
