Baking Soda Vs Baking Powder Differences in Chemistry, nutritional value and Use in Baking
The exact topic of this article first appeared on www.nimedhealth.com.ng
❤❤I MADE A POST ABOUT BAKING SODA AND BAKING POWDER. I ASKED A QUESTION THAT MAJORITY ANSWERED CORRECTLY!!! 👏👏👏 IN TERMS OF NUTRITIONAL VALUE, BAKING SODA IS BETTER THAN BAKING POWDER. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BOTH HIGH IN ” SODIUM (BICARBONATE)”.
❤❤HOWEVER THERE IS ONE THING THAT MAKES THE HUGE DIFFERENCE AND THATS THE INGREDIENTS IN BOTH OF THEM.
✅✅ON A NORMAL DAY WITHOUT ANY OJORO…BAKING SODA SHOULD ONLY CONTAIN SINGLE INGREDIENT WHICH IS BICARBONATE OF SODA…SIMPLE!!! NO PRESERVATIVE …NO ADDITIVES…NO BULKING AGENT. BICARBONATE OF SODA IS AN ALKALINE COMPOUND. IT CAN ONLY BE ACTIVATED BY NEUTRALISATION PROCESS. BUTTERMILK OR OTHER LIQUID YOU USE IN YOUR BAKING IS THE ACIDIC SOLUTION. ..WHICH MEANS IT NEEDS ACIDIC SOLUTION TO BE ACTIVATED SO WE CAN HAVE BYPRODUCT OF CO2 GAS. THATS WHAT MAKES THAT CAKE AND BREAD FLUFFY AND RISE. ITS A LEAVENING AGENT!!!
✅✅ON THE OTHER HAND, BAKING POWDER IS ALSO A LEAVENING AGENT THAT COMPRISES BOTH ALKALINE ( BICARBONATE OF SODA OR BAKING SODA) , THEN A WEAK ACID LIKE CALCIUM ACID PHOSPHATE, SODIUM ALUMINIUM SULPHATE OR SODIUM ALUMINIUM PHOSPHATE. THEN WE NEED A BUFFER OR STABILISER AND WHAT THEY NORMALLY USED IS EITHER CORNSTARCH, FLOUR OR POTATO STARCH. THIS ONE WILL SERVE AS A DRYING AGENT MAKING IT MOISTURE FREE WHILE SITTING ON THE SHELF.
❤❤FROM THIS ABOVE ANALYSIS, YOU SEE THE PROBLEM WITH BAKING POWDER ALREADY…ALUMINIUM!!!! ALUMINIUM IS A NON ESSENTIAL METAL WE DONT NEED .. THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO DUE TO ITS ABUNDANCE IN THE EARTH CRUST. SO WE TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE IT FROM OUR DIET AS IT CAN BECOME TOXIC TO THE BODY.
❤❤SO EXCEPT IF YOURE USING ALUMINIUM FREE BAKING POWDER, PLEASE SWITCH TO BAKING SODA INSTEAD. ELIMINATE ALUMINIUM GETTING INTO YOUR BODY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
✅DEODORANT
✅COMMERCIAL BAKING POWDER
✅NON STICK COOKWARES
✅PURE ALUMINIUM EXPOSURE FROM WINDOWS, DOORS, POWERLINES.
✅BEVERAGE CANS
✅ALUMINIUM FOIL
✅ANTACIDS( ULCER PATIENTS, TAKE NOTICE)
✅ANTIPERSPIRANT ( THATS WHAT BLOCKS SWEAT FROM COMING OUT AND ACT AS A DRYING AGENT)
✅MAKE UP
✅SKINCARE PRODUCT (USED AS THICKENING AGENT)
AND SOOOO MANY OTHER THINGS!!!
❤❤SO OUR BAKERS ..PLEASE HELP US TO STAY HEALTHY BY CHOOSING ALUMINIUM FREE BAKING POWDER OR YOU USE BAKING SODA INSTEAD!!!!
