What it is

Malted barley flour is made from barley grains that have been allowed to sprout and then dried. This process, called malting, changes the starches into sugars and develops enzymes that help in baking. It is a whole grain flour used in various baked goods.

Why it's used

Malted barley flour is used as a flavoring and coloring agent in baked goods, particularly breads and cereals. It helps improve the crust color, texture, and overall flavor of bread by providing sugars for yeast fermentation and contributing to browning.

Health notes

Malted barley flour 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. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated malted barley, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical consumption levels in food.

Allergen info

Malted barley flour is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Gluten is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens, but it is a significant allergen for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
