There are 3 types of yeast extract in NZ/Australia - Vegemite, Marmite and Promite. They're basically all the same in that they are all extremely salty tasting. BUT....
Marmite is sweeter than Vegemite
Promite is sweeter then Marmite
Vegemite:
( Kraft General Foods NZ Ltd )
Yeast extract, salt, malt extract,
colour (caramel),
vegetable flavours, vitamins (niacin, thiamine, riboflavin)
Marmite:
( Sanatarium Health Food Company, NZ )
Yeast, sugar, salt, wheatgerm

Promite:

The difference between Vegemite and Marmite is that marmite has a more caramel taste. Vegemite eaters will usually eat Marmite, but Marmite eaters may tend not to like Vegemite. Promite is just Disgusting!
