Barley Malt Syrup

Barley Malt Syrup is a dark, viscous sweetener made from concentrated barley malt extract, commonly used in baking, brewing and to add a toasty, malty flavor to sauces and cereals. It is sugar‑dense and best used sparingly — it contains 48g of sugar per 100g and provides a small amount of protein and minerals from the malted grain. Nutritionally it behaves like a concentrated sweetener: low in fiber and used in small amounts, it supplies some iron and trace minerals but is primarily a source of added sugars rather than bulk nutrition.
