What it is
Barley malt is made from barley grains that have been sprouted and then dried. This process converts the starches in the barley into sugars, primarily maltose, giving it a sweet flavor and malty aroma. It is often used in its granular or syrup form.
Why it's used
Barley malt is used as a natural sweetener and flavoring agent in baked goods, cereals, and beverages. Its sugars contribute to browning and crust development in breads and can add a distinct malty taste to products like bagels, breads, and cookies.
Health notes
Barley malt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated barley malt and its derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Barley is a grain that contains gluten. Therefore, barley malt is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
