It releases carbon dioxide when it meets heat or acid, which is why it lifts batters, and it raises the pH of water, which is why it is used when blanching vegetables. In Korean kitchens it is known as <b>siksoda<\/b>.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>This is the 200 g pack, blended as sodium bicarbonate 99% with wheat flour, produced by Samjin food in Seongju, Korea. A 1 kg pack of the same blend is also made for kitchens that go through more of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Read this before you buy<\/h2>\r\n<p><b>This is not the same as plain baking soda.<\/b> In North America, baking soda usually means sodium bicarbonate on its own. This product is a blended preparation and <b>contains wheat flour<\/b>, so it is not suitable for anyone avoiding wheat or gluten, and it is not interchangeable with pure sodium bicarbonate in recipes that depend on exact leavening.<\/p>\r\n<p>We make three related products, and the difference is entirely in what is blended with the sodium bicarbonate.<\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<thead><tr><th>Product<\/th><th>Ingredients<\/th><th>Typically used for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr><th>Sodium bicarbonate<br>(siksoda)<\/th><td>Sodium bicarbonate 99%, wheat flour<\/td><td>Blanching greens, washing produce, batters<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr><th>Baking soda<\/th><td>Sodium bicarbonate 99%, sodium acid pyrophosphate<\/td><td>Baking<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr><th>Baking powder<\/th><td>Sodium acid pyrophosphate, corn starch, sodium bicarbonate<\/td><td>Cakes, muffins and other risen batters<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p class=\"sj-t649e-note\">Ingredient declarations are printed on each pack. Check the pack before use if you are cooking for someone with a wheat allergy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>How it is used<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Blanching and simmering<\/h3>\r\n<p>A small amount added to boiling water makes the water mildly alkaline. Korean cooks use it when simmering tougher greens such as gosari (bracken fern) or dried radish greens.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Washing produce<\/h3>\r\n<p>Dissolve in water, soak the vegetables or fruit, then rinse under running water.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Batters<\/h3>\r\n<p>Added to a batter, it releases carbon dioxide during cooking and the batter rises. Quantities vary by recipe, so follow the recipe you are working from.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"sj-t649e-note\">Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the pack sealed after opening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"sj-t649e-q\">\r\n<h3>Is this the same as baking soda?<\/h3>\r\n<p>The active ingredient is the same, but the blend is not. This product contains wheat flour; our baking soda is blended with sodium acid pyrophosphate instead. They are sold as separate products.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"sj-t649e-q\">\r\n<h3>Is it gluten free?<\/h3>\r\n<p>No. It contains wheat flour.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"sj-t649e-q\">\r\n<h3>Can I use it for cleaning?<\/h3>\r\n<p>This is a food grade product manufactured and controlled as a food ingredient. Products sold for cleaning and scouring are handled under different standards.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"sj-t649e-q\">\r\n<h3>Is a larger pack available?<\/h3>\r\n<p>Yes. The same blend is produced in a 1 kg pack.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"sj-t649e-q\">\r\n<h3>Do you supply this in bulk or under private label?<\/h3>\r\n<p>Yes. We export to the United States, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and China, and we produce under OEM and ODM arrangements. Pack size and blend can be adjusted to your specification.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2>Who makes it<\/h2>\r\n<p>Samjin food has processed grains and pulses in Seongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do since 1983. Alongside soybean powders, mixed grain powders and starches, we produce food additives including baking powder and sodium bicarbonate at our own plant. Manufacturing runs under HACCP and FSSC 22000 certified food safety systems, and our plant is registered as a food facility with the US Food and Drug Administration. Registration is a filing requirement for food shipped to the United States and does not constitute FDA approval or endorsement of the product.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"sj-t649e-logo\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"340\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/samjinfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/00023_asset_logo_en.png\" alt=\"Samjin food\">\r\n\r\n<p class=\"sj-t649e-al\">ALLERGEN INFORMATION \u2014 This product contains wheat.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food Grade Sodium Bicarbonate 200g What is food grade sodium bicarbonate?
