Vegemite Vegemite

Vegemite is a bold, salty, and umami-rich yeast extract spread that many Australians swear by. It’s low in calories but packed with B‑vitamins like B1, B2, B3 and folate. Its flavour is very intense — more like a savory broth than a sweet spread — and it’s best used sparingly on buttered toast. The high sodium content can be a concern.

From having Vegemite socks and memorabilia, I love it. Great with avocado on toast or added for extra taste in pasta

They go to breakfast bread in our household, this spread is not everyone’s cup of tea but it is loved by everyone in our house. It has a strong yet delicious flavour and you don’t need a lot so it goes a long way. Also useful in cooking sauces and other dishes that you might not think of.

Vegemite is a pantry staple in our house. It is so convenient, Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, it is perfect for anytime of day!

I love Vegemite. While most people stick to the classic buttered toast, I take it further - my secret is adding a generous spoonful to my morning porridge. The combination of creamy oats with that rich umami flavor is absolute breakfast perfection. What makes Vegemite special is its versatility. It's not just for toast - it elevates cheese sandwiches, adds depth to gravies, and even gives stir-fries an extra flavor kick. The best part? A little goes a long way, making it one of the most economical spreads around. While it might be an acquired taste for some, for Aussies Vegemite isn't just a spread - it's a way of life.
