About Malt extract

Malt extract is a thick, sweet syrup made from malted barley, a process where barley grains are soaked, germinated, and dried. Rich in natural sugars, it serves as a versatile ingredient in baking, brewing, and confectionery. Originating from ancient cereal grain practices, malt extract is widely used in European cuisines and beer-making traditions. It is a good source of vitamins like B-complex, minerals such as magnesium, and antioxidants that support energy metabolism and cellular health. While its nutrient profile offers health benefits, malt extract is high in carbohydrates, making it a concentrated source of sugar. Moderation is key when incorporating it into meals or snacks. Its deep, earthy flavor adds complexity to recipes, making it a favorite among chefs and brewers alike.
