About Dried malt extract

Dried malt extract is a concentrated, dried product made from malted grain, commonly barley, by extracting soluble material and removing much of the water. It is usually sold as a fine powder or granules, with a sweet, malty flavour and a colour that ranges from pale to darker brown.

It is used in brewing, baking and food preparation as a source of malt flavour and fermentable or soluble ingredients. Products differ in the grains used, degree of malt roasting and whether the extract is intended to be diastatic or non-diastatic; these are not necessarily equivalent forms.
