can you od on marmite?

[Jenarry]

i've recently got a taste for marmite.i never used to like it but now i LURVE IT!!!! i seriously can't get enough of it.i know it's full of b vitamins and salt. does anyone know if you can eat too much of it and if so how much should you eat daily?

I think the only thing you need to worry about is your salt intake. I love marmite too but haven't eaten it in months. The last time I had it on toast my friend was shocked at how much I used and said that it was probably my daily intake of salt in that one sitting!! I wasn't worried though because I don't use salt in any of my cooking so need it from pre-prepared foods.

Marmite is amazing. There is just something about it!!

Someone told me it's really good to eat loads of it before you go on holiday if the country your going to has mosquitoes (sp?) they can't stand the stuff and it works as a good insect repellant.

yeah maybe the salt intake should be something i should watch. and i think it's true eating marmite should stop you being eaten alive by gnats..also garlic.

You might be interested in the Marmite Cookbook. Great ideas like bagels with portobello mushrooms, spinach and marmite. It's also fab under scarmbled eggs. I've loved it all my life but just found out I'm allergic - I'm devastated.
