What it is
Sodium bicarbonate is a white crystalline powder, a salt of sodium and bicarbonate. It occurs naturally in mineral springs and is also produced industrially. It is commonly known as baking soda.
Why it's used
Sodium bicarbonate acts as a leavening agent in baked goods, producing carbon dioxide gas when heated or combined with an acid. This causes doughs and batters to rise, creating a lighter texture. It is found in cookies, crackers, cakes, and breads.
Health notes
Sodium bicarbonate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common ingredient in antacids. JECFA has evaluated it and established an acceptable daily intake. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
