What it is

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a white crystalline powder. It is a salt composed of sodium and bicarbonate ions. It occurs naturally in mineral springs and is also manufactured industrially.

Why it's used

Baking soda is primarily used as a leavening agent in baked goods like cookies and cakes, where it reacts with acidic ingredients to produce carbon dioxide gas, causing the dough to rise. It can also be used as a pH buffer and a mild abrasive.

Health notes

Baking soda is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common ingredient and is consumed in small amounts in typical food products. JECFA has evaluated sodium bicarbonate and established an acceptable daily intake.
