What it is
Organic malt powder is made from organic barley that has been sprouted and dried. This process, called malting, converts starches into sugars. The malted barley is then milled into a powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic malt powder as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer, adding a mild, sweet, malty taste. It also helps with browning and can contribute to the texture of baked goods. It is commonly found in breads, cereals, and some confectionery.
Health notes
Organic 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. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated malt and malt extracts, but no specific ADI was set. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Malt powder is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
