Vico Nuggets Overview:

Growing up in a Southeast Asian country, every child can probably relate to having a cup of some sort of malted or chocolate beverage as breakfast before rushing to school. This seems to have been the common experience of kids everywhere as parents somehow collectively vouched for the efficiency of these do-all beverages that seemed to fill us up all day. As an adult, it doesn’t take much to realise that Malt as an active ingredient was what helped us get through the day, and is actually extremely beneficial in terms of its usage and its effects on our bodies. Malt is a type of cereal grain that is dried through a process known as malting. According to Dr. Axe, it is first soaked in water and then dried with hot air to prevent germination. It would then produce enzymes that would break down starches and convert them to sugars. Others are transformed into amino acids that yeast usually uses. According to a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology, it was found that malt processing increases the nutritional quality of pearl millet, resulting in increased fibre and protein content and a lower overall fat composition. Malt extract promotes the formation of probiotic cultures, which aids in the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut. The bacteria boost your immune system, lower your cholesterol, and promote food absorption. Malt is also reported to benefit heart health by lowering cholesterol levels.
