Leave some cereal in water long enough, and what do you get? Malt. Besides playing a major role in the creation of single malt whiskies and premium beer for the discerning drinker, this super ingredient is found in just about everything we love to sink our teeth into. Here are some of our favourites.

1. Milo and Horlicks

Source: Giphy.com Have it at breakfast or in a Dino at suppertime with the squad. Malted barley and wheat give our favourite chocolate drinks its sweetness and energy claims. This is just what will keep you DOTA-ing through the night. 2. Granola bars

Source: royal-food.tumblr.com The next time you skip lunch because of a big work assignment, thank the malt syrup and germinated grain worked into your favourite bar for giving you a second wind. 3. Artisanal breads

Source: Giphy.com Barley and wheat grains can be crushed, milled and, yes, converted into malted grain. In artisanal bread-making, bakers tap on the qualities of malted grain to create softer breads, and help yeast do their work to make dough rise to fluffy heights. All qualities we appreciate in a good, toasty loaf. 4. Char siew

Source: Dinedelish.com Nope, the “malt” in that tangy liquid you sprinkle all over fish and chips isn't just on the label for show. Malt vinegar is aged ale beer, which gives the British staple a distinctively toasty and nutty flavour. 6. Popcorn

Source: theslowmoguys.tumblr.com Artisanal popcorn makers pride themselves on using maltose syrup to mix up your favourite caramel-coated kernels. Malt sugars are unrefined sweeteners which take longer for a body to process and this slower burn helps to curb that constant popcorn craving you might have experienced before. 7. Sodas

Source: Giphy.com Together with its pals sucrose, fructose, dextrose and glucose, malt sugars add their own flavour to most of your favourite soft drinks. Too bad they don't all taste like beer. 8. White Rabbit candy

Source: Instagram.com/melairocks Yup, ol' cotton tail from our childhood is also a cousin of your favourite brew. Liquid maltose is mixed up with butter, milk, corn starch and white sugar, then wrapped in an edible wrapper to eventually lodge itself in your teeth. Ah, memories. 9. Maltesers

Source: Dropdeaddelicious.tumblr.com and kickthephilonfire.tumblrcom It’s right there in the name. Our favourite chocolate balls are filled with a “less fattening centre” — so they used to say in their old ads — of crunchy Horlicks-like malt powder spun into honeycomb. I think it’s snack time.
