Malt

Malt is any cereal grain – but especially barley – that has been made to germinate by soaking in water and then stopped from germinating further by drying with hot air, a process known as ‘malting’. Malted grain is used to make beer, whisky, malted milk, malt vinegar; is used in sweets such as Maltesers; baked goods including malt loaf and bagels, and flavoured drinks such as Horlicks and Ovaltine.

Assorted grains and legumes in bowls and jars, including rice, lentils, corn, quinoa, oats, and wheat.
