Can this potassium bicarbonate be used instead of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in baking & cooking to lower sodium intake?

Yes, they both react similarly in the presence of acid. In theory, since the molecular weight of sodium bicarbonate is around 84, and potassium bicarbonate is around 100, it would take roughly 25% more potassium bicarbonate to equal the same reactivity as sodium bicarbonate for a given recipe.

Yes, there should be no problem, as long as it's food grade quality. I'm not sure on this but you may taste a more "metallic" flavor, kinda like if you taste the salt substitute, which is potassium chloride, compared to regular salt. But I'm not sure if this will do the same thing, so I'd try a test batch before you commit to a big dinner, or using it to make biscuits rise, or something like that.

I didn't see any sodium in the ingredients when I first purchased it. I don't use salt except for baking and don't like it in my regular meals, so I'm pretty sensitive if a spice blend includes it (regardless of what they say on the label). I did not have the normal salt reaction when I taste it in food, so I would certainly believe it is low sodium. I cannot give you a definitive answer though.

We add a quarter box of baking soda and about a half cup of the flakes to a foot bath or a regular bath. My husband is diabetic and this seems to help with calming and the need for additional magnesium. There are other brands also worthy and less expensive.

Actually I don't have it anymore (I gave it away). Doesn't it say on the post? I know I bought it for the magnesium, but I found it to be very salty and I am a salt lover. Personally, I'd rather add baking soda and/or pink himalayan sea salt to my filtered water. Sorry I can't help you more.

Sorry... Don't know ... I have not used it for baking/cooking ... only use it in shakes.

I think if you bake baking soda at 400 degrees for a half hour it turns into washing soda. I read that on Pinterest.

I, suppose, you could but the benefits of K2 would be lost because of the heat. I would suggest making ghee for cooking--much cheaper. Use butter oil just as a supplement.

I have only used this as a substitute for Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) in solution with chlorine-free water for personal baths & skin care. Works as a replacement for all kinds of soap while adding potassium to the body through the skin. Even better when mixed with Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) in the water for a tub bath - equal amounts of each. I usually use 1/2 cup of Potassium Bicarb + 1/2 cup Epsom Salt in 1/2 bathtub of chlorine-free water. Seems like a solution of just Potassium BiCarb in chlorine-free water might be good for this Leaf Spot problem as well.

"baking" soda-----yes it's for baking and swimming pools, cat boxes, bathtub body soaks and lots more

I believe it is a mistake. The label on the front says pure baking soda, and the ingredients list on the back states that the only ingredient is sodium bicarbonate. You can see the nutrition/ingredients label here: http://www.bobsredmill.com/baking-soda.html

I wouldn't. Baking soda tends to separate from the water and collect on the bottom and could block something. Fill a small glass with water, add a little soda stir and after a few minutes you will see the soda collect on the bottom.

Yes, thank you for asking. We do use this on the table & we use it in our cooking as well. It tastes so much better than other salt substitutes we have tried. Definitely worth the purchase, we think.

I would imagine it has something to do with the process of making it into flour. 77.5 is still considered low sodium. You would have to ask the manufacturer for specifics.

I searched a lot of places for a good and simple recipe, and tried a few, I can't really suggest the best place since a lot of it is subjective. After many trials I ended up coming up with my own 1 part baking soda, 1.5 parts cornstarch and 2 parts cocoa butter.

As in yellow box baking soda? I don't see why not. You might have to restrict or lessen the airflow some (probably at the regulator on the compressor).
