Bicarbonate, also known as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), is a versatile chemical leavening agent beloved by bakers around the world. Crafted synthetically from salt and carbon dioxide, this product from KOCKENS is a reliable companion in the kitchen, especially when paired with acidic ingredients such as buttermilk, sour cream, or lingonberries.

Unlike baking powder, bicarbonate lacks an acidic component and requires that pairing to release carbon dioxide, which creates the lift and light texture in baked goods. Ideal for darker cakes like gingerbread or carrot cake, bicarbonate adds the perfect subtle lift without altering flavor or color drastically.

Certified and approved as a food additive in Sweden (E500), it offers not only baking magic but reassurance in quality and safety. Whether swapping it with baking powder or unlocking new recipes, this product brings a slice of Swedish baking tradition straight to your countertop.
