What it is
Barley malt powder is made from barley grains that have been sprouted and dried. This process creates enzymes that convert starches into sugars, giving the powder a sweet, malty flavor. It is then ground into a fine powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use barley malt powder primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. Its rich, toasty taste is popular in baked goods like cookies and biscuits, as well as in chocolate products. It can also contribute to browning and texture in some recipes.
Health notes
Barley malt powder 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 malt and its extracts. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Barley is a grain, and while not one of the FDA's top 9 major allergens, it contains gluten. Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
