Bicarbonate of soda for food

Food-grade bicarbonate of soda in a 750 g tub, a white powder that comes in useful all over the house: raising agent in baking, water for cooking vegetables, washing fruit and vegetables, whitening teeth, and everything else on the cleaning side.

Food grade, so it can be used in the kitchen and for hygiene, unlike technical bicarbonate, which is for cleaning only. Clear tub with a screw lid, packed in Couzon-au-Mont-d'Or, near Lyon. Made in France. Fully biodegradable.

A pinch in a cake batter to make it rise, a handful in the bottom of a sink or fridge to drive out smells. For teeth, go sparingly; the powder is abrasive. Keep the tub closed, away from damp, or the powder sets into a lump.
