My Swami has placed Barley Malt as a diamond in Condiments.  Is this Barley Malt Syrup? ??) :)

I have it too and assumed it was the syrup. I know Ribbit uses it. ;)

Yes, it's the syrup in the jar. It's like molasses..  I get it at the hfs. It's a super beneficial for me..It's not bad  in coffee..very sticky especially from the refrigerator.  I use it in smoothies mostly  :)

Yes, it's very sticky.  The flavor is ... different.  But I like it a lot.  I had some this morning on teff pancakes with peanut butter.

I have to try it.  I have some but I wasn't sure what to do with it.  I guess I should mix it with my oatmeal sometime.  

Does anyone know if it's a yeast feeder?

Might be nice in a smoothie too.  Like a malted vanilla shake?  I just used up the last of mine (as much as I could scrape out) but I want to try it.

Can you get it in powder form?  Malt powder sounds more versatile.

I don't know about it feeding yeast.  Look on the back of the jar and see how much "sugar" it contains.

It is ground up and cooked sprouted barley. It is not straight barely. I think it would be friendly towards people with yeast/bacteria/fungi problems. It seems to be for me at least.

I thought it was similar to cream of tartar, powdered, not actually the syrup...... :-/

like corn starch, but made of barley......
is there such a thing?

if it were syrup, it would say syrup next to barley malt.....

it s just a hunch, a wrong hunch perhaps? ::)

You might be right Lola, I saw other things identified as Syrup, like corn syrup in the Avoids, that is why I was not sure with this one.  I guess I will have to check it out at the next trip to the hfs. 8)

It would be hard to call it a syrup because it is thick like you would not believe but... it is more liquid than not.

But you can get powder version as well.

Either way there is only one ingredient (or should be):

Sprouted Barley.

thought so......thanks! :)

So barley doesn't feed yeast?

Sprouted barley... I would not trust unsprouted. Try for yourself to find out. I can not say for sure. I am just pointing out the difference.

It's just like molasses only lighter in color and it gets thick from being in the refrigerator. I use it in smoothies with my Vitamix, it mixes right in. It gives the smoothie a malty taste.  :)

I didn't refrigerate mine and it's still incredible sticky and thick.  Difficult to get a spoon into.

I've looked for the powder and couldn't find it.  I'll try WF.
