What’s the difference between baking powder, baking soda and bicarb soda?  
Bicarb soda is the same as baking soda. A pure, alkaline leavening agent that’s commonly used in recipes that mix moisture plus an acidic ingredient, like lemon juice, chocolate, buttermilk or honey, together to make the batter rise.  
  
Baking powder is bicarb soda pre-mixed with an acidic ingredient, like cream of tartar, that causes baking to rise when mixed with wet ingredients.  
  
The Lotus brand is well known for being committed to sourcing the highest quality organic ingredients and premium raw materials that taste great, without compromising shelf life. In Australia Lotus products are globally sourced, GMO free, and packed in Melbourne in allergen free production facilities. A process that uses re-sealable, oxygen barrier bags to maintain freshness.
## Ingredients

Sodium Bicarbonate(E500)
## Directions for Use

Bi-carb soda can be used to make baked goods rise and convert plain flour or a flour you have blended yourself into a self raising flour. For every cup of flour add 1/4 teaspoon of bi-carb soda. It is also an effective deodoriser and alternative to chemical household cleaning products. Taken by some as an alkalising drink in water, used as a hair rinse in place of shampoo with diluted apple cider vinegar as conditioner, or used in baths and foot soaks.
