I have heard many people asking and wondering whether the malt that they consume is actually vegan or not. So today we will try to clear your doubts about what malt is and what it is made from.
So today's question is - Is malt vegan? “Malt” just refers to malted barley or other malted grains, so malt is vegan. Most malt products are vegan, too, including malt vinegar, malt liquor, malt extract, malt flour, and malt loaf. However, malted milk and malted milkshakes contain cow’s milk, which might not be considered as vegan.
“Malt” basically is a product made out of Barley and various other grains such as rye, wheat etc. The process of making malt involves the partial germination of grain in water which is then dried with hot air to stop the germination.
The malting process (because of the process involving breaking down the starch into sugar) adds a little sweetness and creates a sweeter and nuttier product than what you get with the original barley. Malted barley is a multipurpose product and is used to create many other products such as Malt syrup, malt liquor, malt vinegar, malted milk, malt loaf, malt flour, Malt Based Food, malted milk food in India, Barley Malt Extract, Barley Malt Powder and more.
So here we can say that its manufacturing doesn’t involve any ingredient which is not vegan. Let’s study the same with different malt products.
Different “Malt” Products
Malt Vinegar - Vegan or Not?
This product, malt vinegar, is usually considered vegan as it is made from malted barley, which is just a germinated grain and as discussed above does not involve any animal products during its production.
Malt Liquor Vegan or Not?
Malted liquor is usually considered vegan. There are various other types of liquors- beer or alcohols which might involve the use of some non vegan products but the major leading brands’ malted liquor are confirmed to be totally vegan
Malt Extract Vegan or Not?
Malt extract is surely vegan and is made from malted barley that is mashed into a liquid form called “wort” and then condensed to make malt extract. In this case too there are no animal products involved at any point and hence is considered vegan. Malt extract comes in the form of liquid malt extract and malt extract powder and is widely used in ‘n’ number of products.
