FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between sodium bicarbonate and baking powder?
Both are leavening agents, but they work differently. Sodium bicarbonate is pure base and needs acid to react. It is used in recipes that already contain an acid. Baking powder is a complete mixture of sodium bicarbonate and an acid, and it only needs liquid to react.
How much sodium bicarbonate should I use in cooking?
Sodium bicarbonate is incredibly concentrated, and a tiny pinch is often all that is needed to neutralize acid or soften beans. In baking, you can use approximately one-half teaspoon per 150 grams of flour. Remember that excessive use can give an unwanted aftertaste, so follow the recipe carefully.
