Super market secrets: malt?

Single malt, or blend?

Supermarket, not liquor store, malt, thank you very much.

is it "molasses" you are looking for ?
many grocery stores in ontario carry it - newfoundlanders can't live without it - particularly when they are away from the island .

No.... not molasses... but I do like molasses!

I thinking malt like you would make a malted with. I've also seen several recipes using it in bread and other baked goods.

with the Qwik and other milk powders.

Carnation makes it. I'm sure there are other brands

I've looked there! In three different stores! I've even had people help me look there. I see that on the internet but I can't find it in the real world.

You would think it would be with Qwik or with instant breakfast but it isn't. Maybe they just don't sell it here.....

hmmm. If you're anywhere near this place maybe you could cut a deal...

"Fairley's pharmacy, at 72nd and Northeast Sandy in Portland, oregon.still has malted and ice crean soda. It is also the last drug-store pharmacy in Portland."

From the Nestle web site...

"Use our convenient Product Locator to find a store near you that carries your favorite Nestlé products. Sorry, we are only able to provide information within the United States. Not all brands and products are included in the Product Locator at this time. If you are unable to find a brand or product near you, please contact us. "

Dry milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk are all available for lookup but not the malted milk powder (figures).

The contact us link brings you here...

http://www.nestleusa.com/Public/ContactUs.aspx where there's an 800 number that you can call.

not many people use it anymore, but if the market has it normally it will be next to the chocolate milk powder.

geez, boom -- how much do you need? I can send you a baggie of suspicious looking white powder.

Malt is not the same thing as malted milk. It is however used in the the making thereof.

Malting is a process applied to cereal grains, in which the grains are made to germinate by soaking in water [1] and are then quickly halted from germinating further by drying/heating with hot air.
The product produced is called Malt.

NB. not all malt is crated equal some malt is more equal than others.

I suggest you try dedicated health food stores.
An alternative may be a store that sells home brew kits.
Failing that some bakers may be able to sell you a small amount from their bulk supplies.

Too funny. I can see Homeland Security showing up to investigate!

That's interesting, dadpad. I had no idea about the construction of malt. I do learn something new every day. Thank you.

It sounds like I'm going to have to turn away from the supermarkets and look for small suppliers.

Yeap, I got my malt at the local breweries. (Micro-breweries certainly will sell it, too.)
Malt Extract is here sold in supermarkets - you should find it in the USA at least in health food shops.

And then there's (100%pure grain) Maltcoffee ...

Check the coffee aisle, with the creamers.

There is a lot of malt produced in the USA ...



(Besides those big factories, we still have some dozens of small malthouses, where they produce malt in the traditional floor malting way - it just smells wonderful around those factories!)
