How to Make Beauty VEGEMITE Sushi Rolls (California Roll) - Video Recipe

VEGEMITE is a dark brown Australian spread, made from leftover brewer's yeast extract. It is very salty with an unique flavor (which some people may dislike) but rich in umami.

In Australia, I tried it on toasted bread with some butter and avocado. It wasn't that bad! So, I thought of using a thin layer of it in sushi rolls :) Surprisingly, you won't taste it and it gives a nice salty flavor without soy sauce!

Vegemite is one of the world's richest known sources of B vitamins, specifically thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and folic acid, which helps promote healthy skin and hair! Adding Avocado (anti-aging vitamin E) would make a perfect beauty roll!
