What it is

Malted powder is made from malted grains, typically barley. The grains are sprouted, then dried and ground into a powder. This process develops a sweet, malty flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Malted powder is used to add a distinct malty flavor and sweetness to foods. It also contributes to browning and can improve texture. It is commonly found in baked goods like bread and cookies, as well as in candies and beverages.

Health notes

Malted 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. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated malted barley products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Malted powder is derived from barley, which is a grain but not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless the barley is cross-contaminated with wheat, rye, or oats.
