Promite was first introduced in the 1950s by the company MasterFoods, which is now a subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated. It was developed as an alternative to Vegemite, which was already well-established in the Australian market. Promite has maintained a loyal following over the years, despite the dominance of Vegemite.

			==Ingredients and Production==

			==Nutritional Information==
			Promite is a rich source of B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and folate. It is also low in fat and sugar, making it a popular choice for those looking to add flavor to their meals without adding extra calories.
