About Baking powder
Baking powder is a common leavening agent used in baking to help doughs and batters rise, giving them a light and fluffy texture. It is typically made from a combination of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), an acid (like cream of tartar), and a starch to prevent clumping. Baking powder is widely used in Western cuisines for breads, cakes, muffins, and quick breads where yeast is not practical. While it’s low in calories and fat-free, it contains sodium, which should be monitored by those on low-sodium diets. Baking powder is generally considered safe in moderate quantities, but excessive use can impart a bitter taste and may contribute to sodium intake. Its versatility and convenience make it a pantry staple, essential for recipes requiring a reliable rise without lengthy fermentation processes.
