Bicarbonate of Soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate and baking soda. It's a leavening agent used in many baked goods, such as cookies, cakes and muffins.
You can store Bi-carb of soda, unopened, at room temperature for up to 18 months.
After opening, it will store at room temperature for about 6 months for the best quality.
To test if your bicarbonate of soda is still active, spoon some into a bowl, and add a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar. If it starts to fizz immediately and vigorously, the bicarbonate of soda will still work well in your recipes.
To make sure your eggs are fresh and safe to eat, use a simple water test. Submerge your egg in a bowl of water: fresh eggs will sink to the bottom, while older, less fresh eggs float. This easy hack helps you determine quickly an egg's freshness before use.
