It's kinda high in sodium though. http://www.marmite.com/hate/nutrition/nutrition.html Red Star Nutritional Yeast is also a reliable source. I think they recently changed the name of that to Lynside, but our bulk bin still says Red Star. (Other brands may or may not be; check labels.) I use this quite a bit, as a parmesan cheese substitute and seasoning for other things. Also, almost all soymilks are fortified with B12, and some other plant milks.

One cooking show I watched used a rounded tablespoon of it as an enhancer in a broth. I'd only ever seen it used as a spread on bread before that show. Speaking of sodium content, Braggs All Purpose Liquid Soy Seasoning is super high in sodium (960 mgs/tbsp) - higher than regular soy sauce. It is gluten and preservative free and not fermented. Is this supposed to make it a better option? Thoughts? All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"

But tamari is also made wheat free, and I get a reduced sodium one. It's less sodium than regular or Bragg's but still pretty high. I think it's 770 per tbs. Marmite stirred into a broth seems a lot like the method for miso soup. Never thought of that before though.

I love the nutty, cheesy flavor of it sprinkled over cooked veggies or in potatoes! Also, I use San-J's reduced sodium tamari soy sauce. One tablespoon has 700 mg. sodium (29%), but certainly lower than the regular. I really enjoy sprinkling it over my tofu veggie scrambles!
