What it is

Wheat and malt barley flour are milled grains used in baking and cooking. Wheat flour is made from the endosperm of wheat kernels, while malt barley flour is made from barley that has been germinated and then dried, giving it a slightly sweet, malty flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

These flours provide structure, texture, and flavor to baked goods and other foods. They are common ingredients in bread, muffins, crackers, and seasoned coatings for fried foods. Malt barley flour can also add a subtle sweetness and color to products.

Health notes

Wheat and barley flours are considered safe and nutritious carbohydrates. They are a source of fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers wheat flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Malt barley flour is also widely used and considered safe. While some individuals have sensitivities or allergies to wheat, for the general population, these flours are a staple food.
