What is this strange witchcraft?

[PaulF]

I’m happy to report that it tastes just like Marmite

[rogerzilla]

Is the normal stuff veggie?

[Hot Flatus]

yes

[PaulF]

Is the normal stuff veggie?

Yes, only ingredients are vegetarians, no carnivores are hurt during production

[Cudzoziemiec]

I have a feeling the normal (yellow label) stuff already has less salt than in days of yore.

[Butterfly]

Is the normal stuff veggie?

Yes. Marmite and chopped nuts was what my lifelong veggie mother was given in sandwiches by relatives who previously had no idea that options other than corned beef or fishpaste existed. She'll be 80 next year and had a vegetarian ration book in the war.

I acquired a jar of the same, tasted it and thought "if that's what it tastes like with 25% less salt, it clearly had no need of it"

[Jaded]

What is reduced salt? Is it something you find in Hoxton?

[ian]

But yeast aren't a vegetable, so I don't think they can claim it's vegetarian. They're single-celled fungi. They might have feelings.

[Beardy]

But fungi is flora not fawna is it not?

[ian]

It's a different kingdom. As closely related to plants as we are (actually, in many ways they're more closely related to animals).

Give him credit for getting the paper lid strip in line.

It's found on the same shelf as free gluten.

I don't understand people who can't taste the difference between sodium chloride and potassium chloride.  (I mean, it's fine, but it's a distinctly different flavour).  They're probably smokers or something.

There's a 'gluten and allergen-free' expo!

[Cudzoziemiec]

Note that the Lo Salt can lead to <thread crossing alert> "cretinism". But probably won't... especially if you aren't pregnant...

[Ben T]

Wouldn't trust it, might be decaff.

[Mr Larrington]

It's probably Halal too.

[Tim Hall]

Preservative free creosote. You know it makes sense.

What is the KCl content of the blue lid stuff?

Would this be hazardous to those with kidney problems or of potassium-sparing diuretics?

[fuaran]

Seems the ingredients are exactly the same, just less salt added. So I don't think there's any more KCl than the regular Marmite.

You can get Meridian yeast extract with no added salt, though it has a rather different taste.

[ian]

I'm never convinced simply exchanging lots of sodium for lots of potassium is a great idea, for lots of reasons. If you're worried about salt, eat less salty stuff.
