Vegemite is a dark brown savoury food paste made from concentrated yeast extract, used mainly as a spread on Sandwiches, toast and cracker biscuits. Rich in Vitamin B, it is promoted as a healthful food for growing kids, but Australian adults like it too. Because of its strong, salty taste, it is often not appreciated by people from the USA.
