What is organic malt syrup?
Organic Malt Syrup—also known as Barley Malt Syrup or Organic Maltose Syrup—is a versatile, nutrient-rich sweetener derived from 100% certified organic barley (Hordeum vulgare). This amber-colored, viscous liquid is minimally processed to retain natural enzymes and flavors, making it ideal for B2B manufacturers seeking clean-label, plant-based ingredients for baked goods, beverages, and functional foods.
