It's one of the foods that makes my husband sick, so I have to avoid it and assumed there were probably hidden gluten sources in it. The American made clones (like Savorex and Vegex) also don't agree with him. . .I'm not sure why. I'm glad you had eat it. . .and that you can try the recipe " as written " .

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 The reason he probably gets sick is that Marmite is just Brewer's yeast and a few additives. They do claim to be GF, but barley is not a gf grain (although the elisa test for wheat will not detect it's protein, which is not gliadin). Those wheat allergic may tolerate it (as they do beer). It is not recommended for those on a gluten free diet in the US (the EU is more liberal in their interpretation of " gf " -- I don't think it qualifieds in Australia as GF under their new rules, either). Here's someone's page on what it is, how it is made, etc (apparently a real fan): http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/marmite.htm#whatis As to those who claim it tastes good -- I can remember my mom on a health food kick, years ago (long before gf days) and she made a shake every day with brewer's yeast. I believe it was the most vile tasting (and smelling) thing ever to come out of the kitchen. karen > > > >>>Marmite (at least the stuff from the UK plant) is both vegan and > gluten-free.

I believe it was the most vile tasting (and smelling) thing ever to come out of the kitchen. karen LOL! It sounds like you had a mom like mine! My grandmother would prepare herself a large glass of grape juice with brewer's yeast mixed in every morning! I actually love marmite and brewer's yeast, though. Both add so much depth of flavor to vegan loaves, roasts, and patties. And, I will admit to liking marmite on toast! Instead of " brewer's yeast " and/or " Marmite;Savorex; and Vegex " , though, I now use Red Star nutritional yeast that is grown on molasses instead of being a byproduct of the brewing process. Bragg's Liquid Aminos do a fair job of substituting for Marmite too. The taste is similiar and the foods I prepare from scratch can still have " some " of that depth of flavor. The photo of that little child with marmite all over his or her face was adorable! LaDonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 In the European Union, barley is usually considered gf because it is below the acknowledged levels. In most North American CD groups the standards of the EU are not accepted. barley has enough gluten to make most Celiac's very sick so we avoid marmite too. Mind you, I have to admit that it is an " acquired " taste - lol Nutritional yeast flakes would probably work as a sub for the marmite anyway, but it might be difficult to find the right measurement at first.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 In Australia we have a vegemite/marmite type of spread not made from yeast. I actually used it in the cashew gravy last night- thanks for the recipe. We put it on a version of the 'Holiday Lentil Walnut Roast' recipe posted yesterday. Kim. , " K.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 How interesting, Kim. What is it made from? And. . .did you enjoy the cashew gravy? It's so nice to hear from others who are " using the recipes " I send in! ~ LaDonna ~ >>In Australia we have a vegemite/marmite type of spread not made from yeast.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 It's called Vege Spread and is made from a corn protein extract, water, corn thickener, tapioca maltodextrin, sugar, caramel colour, food acid, vinegar and vitamins. Yes, we did enjoy the gravy. It was really easy to make and probably a lot healthier than the gravy mix I usually use. The only change I made was to add some vegetable bouillon. We've got enough of both the gravy and the roast for tonight's dinner as well Both recipes were 'just the thing' I was looking for to top off dinner as I had planned the veggies but wanted something new as well.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Sounds like the Rest Star yeast would be a good marmit substitution in the original recipe - add more iron than the soy sauce, as well. > > Instead of " brewer's yeast " and/or > " Marmite;Savorex; and Vegex " , though, I now use Red Star nutritional yeast > that is grown on molasses instead of being a byproduct of the brewing > process.
