About Malt powder

Malt powder is a versatile ingredient made from sprouted barley grains that are dried and ground into a fine powder. It comes in two varieties: diastatic, containing active enzymes that aid in breaking down starches, and non-diastatic, which offers a sweet, nutty flavor without the enzymes. Originating from traditional European brewing and baking practices, malt powder is widely used in recipes like breads, milkshakes, and malted desserts. Nutritionally, it’s a good source of B vitamins, selenium, and manganese, supporting energy and antioxidant defenses. However, it’s often high in natural sugars, so moderation is key. Due to its enzymatic properties, diastatic malt powder can enhance dough rise and texture, making it a favorite among artisan bakers. Non-diastatic malt, in contrast, is mainly used as a flavoring agent. Whether for baking or beverages, malt powder adds depth and richness to a broad range of culinary creations.
