malt powder

Dried grain extract

Malt powder is malted grain—usually barley—that has been dried and ground.

The malting process converts starches to sugars, giving the powder a distinctive sweet, nutty flavor.

It's used in baking, brewing, and especially in malted milkshakes: Add a spoonful of malt powder to the shake.

Diastatic malt powder retains active enzymes that help bread rise; non-diastatic is purely for flavor.
