Malt flour is typically not gluten-free as it is usually made from barley, which contains gluten. However, there are some specialty malt flours made from gluten-free grains like sorghum or rice, but these are less common and should be clearly labeled as gluten-free.
Rich in B vitamins: Malt flour contains various B vitamins, including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folate, which are essential for energy metabolism and overall health.
Good source of minerals: It provides minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium, which are important for various bodily functions.
High in fiber: Malt flour contains dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes bowel regularity, and helps maintain healthy gut bacteria.
Contains antioxidants: It has antioxidants like ferulic acid and flavonoids, which can help protect cells from oxidative stress.
May support bone health: The calcium and phosphorus content in malt flour can contribute to maintaining strong bones and teeth.
Provides slow-release energy: The complex carbohydrates in malt flour offer sustained energy release, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Supports muscle recovery: The protein content in malt flour can aid in muscle repair and growth, especially when consumed after exercise.
May improve digestion: Enzymes present in malt flour can help break down complex carbohydrates, potentially easing digestion.
Natural sweetener: Malt flour can be used as a healthier alternative to refined sugar in some recipes, providing a subtle sweetness with additional nutrients.
Potential prebiotic properties: Some components in malt flour may act as prebiotics, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.Remember that while malt flour offers these potential benefits, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet, and individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease should avoid it.
People with celiac disease, as malt flour typically contains gluten
Individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity
Those following a strict gluten-free diet for other health reasons
People with wheat allergies, as malt flour is often derived from barley or wheat
Individuals with barley allergies
Those with a diagnosed malt allergy
People following a low FODMAP diet, as malt can be high in fructans
Individuals with certain types of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) who are sensitive to gluten or FODMAPs
Those with phenylketonuria (PKU), as malt flour contains phenylalanine
People adhering to a grain-free diet
Individuals following specific diets that exclude grains or gluten-containing foods
Those with diagnosed fructose malabsorption, as malt can contain fructoseAlways consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have specific health concerns or conditions.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
