Malt, Malt Extract and the Barley Free Diet

Malt and malt extract are ingredients obtained primarily from malted barley, although they can occasionally be derived from other grains such as corn. The malting process involves soaking, germinating, and drying the grains, which develops enzymes that convert starches to sugars. This results in a sweet, flavorful extract that is used in baking, brewing, and confectionery products. Malt extract can come in liquid or powdered form and is appreciated for its rich taste and aroma.
