Soda is a leavening agent that promotes the rise of doughs due to its reaction with acids. In Italian cuisine, it is mainly used for preparing sweets and cookies, where it helps achieve a light and fluffy texture. There are different varieties of bicarbonate, but food-grade bicarbonate is specifically purified for culinary use.

Use in cooking

In the kitchen, soda is primarily used in sweet recipes, such as cakes and cookies, and can also be used to soften legumes and vegetables during cooking.

Preservation

Soda should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture sources, to maintain its effectiveness over time.

Curiosity

In the past, soda was also used as a household remedy for cleaning and disinfection, thanks to its chemical properties.
