About Barley malt extract

Barley malt extract is a concentrated product made from malted barley, in which soluble material from the malt is extracted. It is used as a sweet, malty ingredient in baking, brewing and other manufactured foods. It is sold in both liquid and dried forms.

Liquid extract is thick and syrup-like, usually brown, while dried extract is a powder. Its flavour is typically sweet and cereal-like with toasted malt notes; colour and intensity depend on the malt and degree of concentration.
