Etymology
The term 'malted' originates from the Old English word 'mealt' meaning 'to crush,' which pertains to the milling of grain. The practice of malting dates back thousands of years and was fundamental to ancient cultures; it is thought to have emerged independently in various parts of the world. As agriculture evolved, the malting process became refined. This term historically connected the brewing and baking traditions, as both rely on malted grains for their production. Malted grains played a crucial role in the development of beer, notably in Sumerian and Egyptian civilizations, where malt was used to enhance the flavor and strength of beverages. Over time, the word 'malted' has expanded to encompass a range of products and processes in both food and beverage industries.
