What it is

Malted barley is barley grain that has been sprouted and dried. This process, called malting, develops enzymes and sugars in the grain. It is often used to add a distinct flavor and color to foods.

Why it's used

Malted barley flour and extract are used to add a malty, slightly sweet flavor and a darker color to baked goods like cookies, crackers, and bread. It can also contribute to browning and texture.

Health notes

Malted barley is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. 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 from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Malted barley is derived from barley, which is a grain. It is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. However, barley contains gluten, which is a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
