Barley malt syrup

Barley malt syrup is a sweetener that comes from barley, a grain commonly used in food production. This syrup is a thick, sticky liquid with a rich, malty flavour that adds sweetness to a variety of dishes.

To make barley malt syrup, barley grains are soaked, germinated (allowed to sprout), and then dried. The dried barley is roasted to develop its distinct flavour, mixed with water, and boiled down into a syrup consistency.

This ingredient is often used in baking recipes, such as bread, cookies, and even some beverages like beer. It can add depth of flavour, sweetness, and moisture to these products, making them more complex and delicious. Barley malt syrup may also be found in some breakfast cereals and energy bars for added sweetness and nutritional value.
