A clean tasting, healthy, intelligent sweetener made from sprouted, organically grown USA whole  barley, slowly cooked to a thick, dark brown syrup - an ancient process using only the grain's own enzymes created in the sprouting process, and the knowledge and care of artisan maltsters. A rich mellow sweet flavor that's half as sweet as refined sugar. Ideal for baking spice cakes, gingerbread, dark breads, baked beans, barbecue sauces, candied vegetables and home brewing. 76 percent maltose.
