Bicarbonate of Soda
Bicarbonate of Soda is a white crystalline powder widely used in baking and cooking as a chemical leavening agent and for neutralizing acids. It helps batters and doughs rise and is a common pantry staple in many cuisines. Nutritionally, Bicarbonate of Soda contributes virtually no calories or macronutrients but is high in sodium if consumed in larger amounts — about 12g of salt per 100g — so it’s intended to be used sparingly. From a health perspective, it doesn’t provide significant vitamins or protein and is mainly a functional ingredient; if you need a low-sodium alternative for leavening, consider swaps like potassium bicarbonate or yeast-based leavening depending on the recipe.
