    Vegemite is an Australian food paste made from yeast extract. It is dark brown in colour and is mainly used as a spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits, as well as being used as a filling for pastries like Cheesymite scroll. It is similar to British and New Zealand Marmite and to Swiss Cenovis.

    Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste may be described as salty, slightly bitter, and malty — somewhat similar to the taste of beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky, much like peanut butter. It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.
