About Rye malt extract
Rye malt extract is a concentrated sweet, malty ingredient made from malted rye, in which germinated rye is processed to extract soluble material. It is commonly sold as a dark, viscous syrup or as a dried powder; flavour is malty and cereal-like, with colour and sweetness depending on production.
It is used in baking and brewing for flavour, colour and fermentable sugars. Products differ in concentration and in whether they are liquid or dried, and some may include other ingredients, so the label is important when interpreting a particular product.
