What it is

Paleo baking powder is a leavening agent designed to mimic traditional baking powder without using cornstarch or aluminum-containing ingredients. It typically combines cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate), baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and a starch like tapioca or arrowroot powder. These ingredients react when wet and heated to produce carbon dioxide gas, causing baked goods to rise.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use paleo baking powder to help baked goods like muffins, cakes, and pastries rise and achieve a light, airy texture. It is a popular choice for those following paleo or grain-free diets who want to avoid common baking powder ingredients.

Health notes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes baking soda and cream of tartar as safe (GRAS) for use in food. Tapioca and arrowroot starches are also common food ingredients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated some of these components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake of these ingredients.

Allergen info

Paleo baking powder is not a major allergen. It does not contain wheat, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, or sesame. It is also gluten-free.
