In a very basic way, Marmite and Vegemite are the same thing: an extract of yeast leftover from the process of brewing beer. But they're the same thing in much the same way that a burger from McDonald's is the same as a burger from Burger King: They're the same, but not they're not "the same." To some people, they're both the worst thing ever, but to many others, they're a pretty delicious spread to use in recipes or even just to slather on some toast. Salty and full of umami, they both offer up a punch of flavor that can really enhance a lot of dishes. But which one is the one for you? And if we're being super technical, there are actually two different kind of Marmites out there - one exclusive to New Zealand - making your choice even more complicated.
If you're a fan of that rich flavor — which also happens to be packed full of nutrients — then you've likely chosen one over the other. Certain things about your personal tastes and upbringing have no doubt influenced which one you like more, and we can figure that out.Â
