What it is
Organic malted barley flour is made from barley grains that have been germinated (malted) and then dried and ground. Malting activates enzymes in the grain, which can help with baking.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use malted barley flour as a natural sweetener and to improve the texture and crust color of baked goods. It is often found in breads, bagels, pizza dough, and some cookies and crackers.
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 products, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical use in food.
Allergen info
Barley is a grain and contains gluten. Gluten is not one of the 9 major food allergens, but it can cause adverse reactions in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
