Baking Soda

Baking soda can neutralize acids and improve browning in recipes.

Store baking soda in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It can be kept for up to a year. For optimal freshness, check the expiration date on the package. Baking soda can also be used as a deodorizer in the refrigerator, but should not be used for baking if used in this way.
