Maltose is a type of sugar. It’s a disaccharide, meaning it’s made up of two glucose molecules linked together. Maltose is found naturally in foods like germinating grains (like barley and wheat), and it’s also produced during the brewing process.
While it’s a natural sugar, it’s still a simple carbohydrate and is metabolized into glucose, which can affect blood sugar levels. So, while it’s not as refined as table sugar, it’s still a form of sugar that should be consumed in moderation.
