It has a high content of B-vitamin, minerals and nutrients, and has a balance of carbohydrates that supposedly allows instant absorption. It is very dark brown in colour, and has a sweet flavour. Supermalt may be purchased in 330ml glass bottles,or cans, sold individually or in their respective six-packs. Supermalt is produced by Royal Unibrew A/S in Denmark. It is most popular among the Afro-Caribbean community.
Production
Non-alcoholic maltdrinks can be made by either traditionalbrewing method, where barley is steeped into malt and then brews into a creamy, rich consistency, or made like a soft drink by using malt extract. Supermalt uses traditional brewing skills for all its non-alcoholic batches. The main difference between non-alcoholic malt drinks with non-alcoholic beers is that malt drinks are usually sweet and always dark in colour. The sweet notes are a combination of naturally occurringglucose, fructose, saccharose, maltose and maltriose. Various products of Supermalt are being sold worldwide in more than 70 countries, and are mostly popular in the African and Afro-Caribbean societies in the UK. The primary consumertarget group for malt drinks is the Afro-Caribbean population, which represents more than 1 million people in the UK, London being the largest single European market for malt drinks.
Nutritional Value
Supermalt is made solely from raw materials of vegetable origin, except for the B-vitamins, which are synthetic nature-identical ingredients. No animal products are used so Supermalt is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Supermalt’s nutritional values :
