You either love it or hate it, according to the guys behind all the Marmite advertising campaigns. But it’s one of those products that if you do love it, then boy do you love it. But not many people actually know the history behind this tasty treat. So, let’s take a deep dive into lovely, lovely Marmite. What is Marmite?Marmite is a savoury spread, which was originally invented by German scientist Justus von Liebig in 1902. The scientist invented it in the UK when he discovered that brewers’ leftover yeast could be concentrated, bottled and eaten. So that’s beer and Marmite for everyone! Bass Brewery was the original providers of the yeast for Marmite. In 1912, it was discovered that Marmite was a great source of vitamin B, so the British troops fighting in World War I were issued jars of the stuff as part of their rations. And during the 1930s, English scientist, Lucy Wills successfully used Marmite to treat anaemia in mill workers in Bombay, India, thanks to the folic acid in it. Marmite was used to treat malnutrition by Suriya-Mal workers during the 1934–5 malaria epidemic in Sri Lanka. So basically, Marmite has super powers! Is Marmite good for you?Marmite is jam-packed with vitamins, so basically, yeah – Marmite is good for you. It’s stuffed full of B vitamins, including, niacin, riboflavin and thiamine, as well as magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron and selenium, all of which are essential for good health. Marmite is particularly good for pregnant people. As Shona Wilkinson, nutritionist at SuperfoodUK, explains, “Marmite is also high in folic acid, providing nearly 50% of the recommended daily allowance per serving. Folic acid works to reduce the risk of high blood pressure, increase the chance of conception and prevent birth defects.” Plus, if you’re trying to watch your weight, Marmite is very low in calories. In each recommended 8g portion of Marmite, there's only 22 calories and less than 0.5g of fat. Saying all that, Marmite is pretty salty, so it’s always worth keeping that in mind. Dr Sally Norton, NHS Consultant and Weight Loss Specialist at VavistaLife told SheerLuxe: “Whilst it’s a good source of vitamins and minerals, Marmite is also very high in salt. A spoonful on your toast is unlikely to be a problem – but be careful not to eat excessive quantities if you’re watching your salt intake.” Marmite ingredientsThe main ingredients of Marmite are glutamic acid-rich yeast extract, salt, vegetable extract, spice extracts and celery extracts, although the precise recipe is a trade secret.
Getty Images How to eat MarmiteWell, as far as Marmite goes, the world really is your oyster. It’s great spread on toast, crumpets, bagels and crackers among other things. But it’s also a lovely way of adding a depth of flavour to cooking. Add a spoonful to any stew, and even a Bolognese pasta sauce. Oh, and Marmite Carbonara is dreamy. Simply whisk a spoonful into your egg before you add it to the pasta. Is Marmite vegan?One thing that everyone always wants to know is whether Marmite is vegan or not. Marmite’s website states: “The entire Marmite range is vegan, and certified by the European Vegetarian Union (EVU), except for the 70g jar. The 70g jar is currently only vegetarian – though we are in the process of moving towards vegan approval from the EVU.” Is Marmite halal?Yes. The entire range is halal, and has been certified by the Halal Food Authority. Is Marmite gluten-free?Alas, Marmite is not gluten-free as it’s made from the yeast leftover from beer brewing, and there’s gluten in that. Marmite productsSeeing as Marmite lovers go absolutely bonkers for anything with the tasty yeast extract in it, food producers have been jumping on the Marmite bandwagon for years now.
