What it is
Malted barley flour is made from barley grains that have been germinated (malted) and then dried and ground into a flour. This process develops enzymes and sugars in the barley, giving it a slightly sweet, malty flavor and aroma.
Why it's used
Malted barley flour is often added to baked goods like breads, cakes, and donuts. It acts as a natural sweetener and can improve the texture, crust color, and overall flavor of the final product. It also helps activate yeast in bread making.
Health notes
Malted barley flour 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 food additives, but specific evaluations for malted barley flour's use as a food ingredient are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels, it poses no known health risks.
Allergen info
Malted barley flour is derived from barley, which is a grain. While barley contains gluten, it is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
