What it is

Barley and wheat malt flour is made from malted barley and wheat grains. Malting involves steeping the grains in water to encourage germination, then drying them with hot air. This process develops enzymes and sugars, which are then milled into a flour.

Why it's used

This flour is used as a flavoring agent and to improve the texture and crust color of baked goods. It adds a malty, slightly sweet flavor and can help with leavening. It is often found in bread, crackers, and cereals.

Health notes

Barley and wheat malt flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. JECFA has evaluated malt and malt extract, and EFSA has evaluated malted barley extract. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Barley and wheat are grains that contain gluten. Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid this ingredient.
