Organic Barley Malt: Uses and Benefits

Organic Barley malt is a natural sweetener made from barley. To "malt" a grain means to soak it until it starts germinating and heat-dry right after. When this happens, the seed releases enzymes, which turn starches into sugars. Organic Barley malt powder is getting more popular as a "better" alternative to white sugar. The same with organic barley malt extract, which can be compared to maple syrup. Malted barley is also used for making beer, whiskey, candies, and a variety of beverages.
