What it is
Malt powder is made from malted barley, which is grain that has been germinated by soaking in water and then dried. The dried malt is then ground into a powder. It has a naturally sweet, malty flavor.
Why it's used
Malt powder is used as a flavoring agent and sweetener in a variety of foods, especially baked goods like cookies, bread, and crackers. It also adds color and can contribute to browning during baking. It is commonly found in chocolate products, candy, and ice cream.
Health notes
Malt powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated malt and related substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Malt powder is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
