Sodium-Free Baking Powder

Sodium-free baking powder is a chemical leavening agent used in baking, typically made from an acid, a moisture absorber such as starch, and a potassium-based alkaline component instead of sodium bicarbonate. It is an ingredient additive rather than a meaningful source of dietary nutrition.
