What it is

Baking soda is a common name for sodium bicarbonate, a white crystalline powder. It is a salt of sodium and bicarbonate. It is found naturally in mineral springs, but is also manufactured for commercial use.

Why it's used

Baking soda is primarily used as a leavening agent in baked goods. When heated or combined with an acid, it releases carbon dioxide gas, causing doughs and batters to rise. It is also used to neutralize acidity in foods and can help with browning.

Health notes

In the US, baking soda is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is commonly consumed in small amounts as part of baked goods and other foods. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sodium bicarbonate and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
