Bob’s Red Mill Baking Soda 450g Bob’s Red Mill

At Bob’s Red Mill, our Baking Soda (also known as bicarbonate of soda) is the gold standard: use it in countless recipes, including cakes, cookies, flatbread and more. This gluten-free product is produced in our 100% gluten-free facility and subject to ELISA batch testing to ensure it meets our strict standards.

When using baking soda in combination with acidic ingredients, such as buttermilk, molasses, cocoa or yoghurt, the sodium bicarbonate releases carbon dioxide that causes the batter or dough to rise. In addition to carbon dioxide gas and bubbles, baking soda also yields a chewy texture that is essential to many baked goods—think of your favourite chocolate chip cookies. It’s also a great household cleanser and eliminates odours. The package of our baking soda features a terrific recipe for Lemon Sugar Cookies—be sure to click the Recipes tab to find dozens of other fantastic recipes.
