Description

Malted Barley Flour is prepared from barley malt(barley undergone malting process). Malting process includes partial germination, also called sprouting followed by hot-air drying to stop germination. The malted barley grains are steam-dried, hulled, then ground and sifted to produce flour. Malted barley flour has two types, diastatic(the one that has the active enzymes in it) and non-diastatic(the one that has no active enzymes in it). It can be used in combination to wheat flour to make softer, moister food products than would wheat flour alone.
