MARMITE



Marmite, you either love it or hate it.

Most foreigners hate Marmite because of its very unique and distinct taste, but most British people like it because children are given it from a young age due too the amount of vitamin B in it. Marmite is supposed to be very good for you.


Marmite was so good for you because of its vitamin B, that it was included in soldiers ration packs during

First World War. It also became a basic food in hospitals and schools.

During World War II, Marmite became a dietary supplement in prisoner-of-war camps.


They started using black glass jars in 1920. The shape of the jar and the distinct red and yellow label has remained pretty much the same since then.
