About Baking soda
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a fine white powder, primarily used as a leavening agent in baking. It reacts with acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or yogurt, to release carbon dioxide gas, helping batter rise and creating a light, airy texture. Common in Western cuisine, baking soda is also a staple in various global recipes, including Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. Nutritionally, baking soda is calorie-free but purely chemical, containing no vitamins, minerals, or macronutrients. Its alkaline properties make it useful for neutralizing acidity and soothing indigestion in small doses. However, excessive consumption or overuse in recipes can lead to excessive sodium intake, which may impact cardiovascular health. Baking soda is best utilized sparingly and stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its potency.
