Australia’s National Food

Going to Australia and not having a taste of Vegemite is almost a crime. This spread is used by Aussies in virtually everything, and it’s made from leftover brewer’s yeast. Yes, you’ve read that right! Additional ingredients include salt, malt extract, and vegetable extract. All things combined, it makes for one of the most beloved Australian national foods. But is it any good?

While some tourists claim that Vegemite is disgusting (the list of ingredients isn’t exactly appetizing), the fact is that Vegemite is highly nutritious and can even help to reduce the frequency of migraines and improve heart health.
