What 'Black Magic' goes into making Marmite? | Food Unwrapped

[@baystgrp]

Perfect symbiotic relationship: the Brits swill massive amounts of beer. Brewing beer provides massive amounts of yeast. Yeast is concentrated and added to a secret ingredient: equally massive amounts of salt. Marmite has enough salt to induce raging thirst. Which requires more beer... Devilishly clever... Heh.

If you're making scrambled eggs on toast, spread some Marmite on the toast before the eggs go on. Also stir a generous teaspoonful into stews and casseroles.
