Vegemite, An Aussie Sensation Indeed
Abstract
Vegemite is a dark, yeast-based spread produced from brewers’ yeast extract and is often fortified with vitamin B complex, such as thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and folate (B9). It is widely consumed in Australia and has become a culturally iconic food item. Its unique umami flavor and nutrient density make it both a dietary staple and a potential functional food.
