What is it?

Sodium Bicarbonate (Bicarb) is sourced the exact same way as Washing Soda. It’s an ancient mineral that has been in use for over 5000 years from baking, medicine to cleaning!In the 1830s bakers began adding bicarb and sour milk to their dough. The reaction of bicarb with an acid creates carbon dioxide gas, which when trapped in the dough gave it its lightness. 


This is good for baking without yeast, however it’s not really an effective cleaner because you are neutralising the effects of both the bicarb & vinegar.They do make a good team if used separately, with bicarb doing the cleaning and vinegar doing the rinsing.It’s a white solid that is crystalline but will often come in a fine powder form.
