What it is

Organic malted barley is a grain that has been sprouted and then dried and roasted. This process, called malting, develops enzymes and sugars that give it a distinct flavor and color. It is often used as a flavoring or coloring agent in foods and beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic malted barley for its malty flavor and color, and to aid in browning. It is commonly found in baked goods like breads, muffins, and bagels, as well as in cereals and some beverages.

Health notes

Organic malted barley 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 barley and its derivatives.

Allergen info

Barley is a grain that contains gluten. Gluten is not one of the 9 major allergens, but it is a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
