Baking Powder
Baking Powder is a dry chemical leavening agent commonly used in quick breads, cakes and other baked goods to produce a light, airy texture. It’s a pantry staple in many cuisines for recipes that don’t use yeast. Nutritionally, Baking Powder contributes negligible protein, fiber or fat and is used in small amounts, but it does contain notable levels of calcium (286mg per 100g) because of its alkaline components. As an ingredient, it’s primarily functional rather than nutritious — it’s a processed product used sparingly to provide rise, so it shouldn’t be relied on for dietary benefit.
