What is Baking Soda & what does it do in baking?

Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. It helps baked goods rise by reacting with acids (like yogurt, lemon, buttermilk) to produce carbon dioxide, adding lightness and softness to cakes, cookies, breads, and more.

Can I use Urban Platter Baking Soda for cleaning or other household uses?

Yes, aside from baking, it’s a versatile household helper. Use it for deodorizing refrigerators, cleaning surfaces (mix into a paste), or neutralizing odors. Its mild abrasiveness and alkalinity make it suitable for many tasks.

Is it safe for consumption and how much should I use?

Yes, baking soda is safe when used in small amounts in food. Use it sparingly as excessive intake can lead to digestive issues or sodium overload.

How should I store Baking Soda to maintain its potency?

Keep it in a cool, dry place, sealed tightly. Avoid exposure to moisture or strong odors (it can absorb them). Store it away from acidic ingredients to prevent early activation.

Can baking soda relieve heartburn or indigestion?

In small, occasional doses, it can neutralize stomach acid and provide temporary relief from heartburn or upset stomach. However, repeated or high-dose use is not recommended, and individuals with medical conditions should consult a physician.
