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.
The 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.
