What it is

Baking soda is a white, crystalline powder. It is a naturally occurring mineral, also known as sodium bicarbonate. It can be manufactured by reacting sodium carbonate with carbon dioxide and water.

Why it's used

Baking soda is primarily used as a leavening agent in baked goods, producing carbon dioxide gas when combined with an acid and moisture. This causes doughs and batters to rise. It is also used as a flavor enhancer and to help control acidity in foods.

Health notes

Baking soda is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common ingredient in many foods and is also used as an antacid. JECFA has evaluated sodium bicarbonate and established an acceptable daily intake. Consuming very large amounts may cause digestive upset.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Baking soda is a mineral compound and does not contain gluten.
