What it is

Dry malt, also known as malt powder or malted barley flour, is made from barley that has been germinated and then dried and ground. This process develops enzymes and sugars that give it a distinct malty flavor and color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dry malt as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer, adding a rich, toasty taste to baked goods. It also helps improve the texture and crust development in breads, cookies, and crackers.

Health notes

Dry 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 and EFSA have evaluated malt and its components, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical use in foods.

Allergen info

Dry malt is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
