By peseta (48) Profile Contact The reason bicarb or 'baking soda' is confused with the powder, apart from the name, is that it's IN baking powder, with either potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar) or [double-acting] sodium acid pyrophosphate to act with it to make the bubbles without yeast. Why anyone would want to put chemicals in their food like that is a wonder, but it's all linked to Liebig and artificial fertilizers that have so depleted the soil. We're also just starting to realize that nutrients in food behave differently from the 'same' nutrients in pills. Wisdom sure takes a long time... And by the way, 'washing soda' is sodium carbonate, just to add confusion. Posted on 03/03/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is Baking Soda?

Thanks. Posted on 03/02/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is Baking Soda? By Glenn'sMom (933) Profile Blog! Contact Yes, we have self-rising flour but I think (may be wrong) that most bakers use plain flour and add things to make baked goods rise. At least I do. My box says that Baking Soda is Sodium Bicarbonate. Baking Powder is corn starch, bicarbonate of soda, and several other things. Posted on 03/02/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is Baking Soda? By (Guest Post) I'm an American living in Brisbane.Baking soda is bicarb. Baking powder is baking powder. All purpose flour is plain flour and has nothing alse added. Self rising has other stuff in it, but you will rarely see it in American recipes. Posted on 03/02/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is Baking Soda?

By Luvyabye (447) Profile Contact Hi Leah (that's my daughter's name, too). In the USA, baking soda is, indeed, Bicarbonate of Soda ... or Sodium Bicarbonate (both are the same).

Also, we do have self rising flour here in the U.S. You can also purchase all-purpose flour and add baking powder. Posted on 03/02/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
