Promite is a dark brown, salty food paste. It is made from yeast extract and vegetables. People mostly spread it on sandwiches and toast. It is similar to other popular spreads like Vegemite and Marmite.

What is Promite?

Promite is a unique spread that has a slightly sweeter taste compared to some other yeast extracts. It gets its flavor from a mix of leftover brewer's yeast and vegetable extracts. This combination gives it a distinct savory and sweet flavor that many Australians enjoy.

The History of Promite

Promite was first created in the 1950s by a company called Henry Lewis & Company. They sold it under the Masterfoods brand. Later, Henry Lewis & Company became MasterFoods Australia and New Zealand. In 1967, a large American company called Mars, Incorporated bought them out. Even after this change, Promite has continued to be made and sold mainly in Australia.

What's in Promite?

Promite is made from a blend of yeast and vegetable extracts. It also has added sugar, which gives it its sweeter taste. In 2013, some vitamins (like B1, B2, and B3) and flavor enhancers were removed from the recipe. This change was made to help people who might be sensitive to those vitamins. However, Promite still naturally contains some vitamins from its main ingredients.

Here are some of the vitamins found in Promite:
