Sodium Bicarbonate (25kg)

Sodium bicarbonate is a fine white raising agent, also sold as bicarbonate of soda, supplied in a bulk box for bakeries, restaurants, takeaways and food manufacturers across the UK. It releases carbon dioxide when it meets an acid or heat. That lifts batters and doughs and also tenderises meat and softens pulses in a commercial kitchen. Buying wholesale keeps a staple baking ingredient on the shelf.

Key Features of Wholesale Sodium Bicarbonate

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: A bulk pack suits bakeries, caterers and production kitchens that use a raising agent every day and want fewer reorders.
• Trade Pricing: Buying a bulk box at trade price is a cost-effective way to stock an ingredient used in small amounts across many batches.
• Fine, Free-Flowing Powder: The powder sifts easily with flour and dissolves in liquid, so it spreads evenly through doughs, batters and marinades.
• Needs an Acid to React: It works with buttermilk, yoghurt, cocoa, honey, treacle or lemon juice. Baking powder already contains its own acid, so the two are not interchangeable.
• Browning and Spread: In biscuits and cookies it encourages golden colour and a wider, crisper bake. In batters it gives a lighter, crunchier coating.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep it cool, dry and airtight, away from damp and strong odours. Reseal the bulk box after each use and scoop with a dry utensil.

Popular Recipes Using Sodium Bicarbonate

UK kitchens use this ingredient in bakes, batters, sweets and savoury dishes, including:

• Irish Soda Bread: reacts with buttermilk to raise the loaf without yeast.
• American-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies: helps the biscuits spread, brown and crisp at the edges.
• Gingerbread and Parkin: balances the acidity of treacle and golden syrup for a soft crumb.
• Red Velvet Cake: reacts with cocoa and vinegar or buttermilk for a tender crumb.
• Honeycomb (Cinder Toffee): foams in hot sugar syrup to create the brittle, aerated texture.
• Onion Bhaji and Vegetable Pakora: a pinch in gram flour batter gives a lighter, crispier coating.
• Dhokla: aerates the fermented gram flour batter into a soft, spongy steamed cake.
• Gulab Jamun: a small amount in the dough keeps the fried dumplings soft inside.
• Chinese Beef Stir-Fry: a light bicarbonate coating tenderises sliced beef before quick frying.
• Chole (Chana Masala): added to the cooking water, it helps chickpeas soften faster.
