Baking Soda is 100% sodium bicarbonate and contains no other ingredients. It comes from soda ash, which can be produced synthetically or harvested from natural sources. Westpoint’s Baking Soda is mined from natural deposits only. The process followed is that water is pumped underground to dissolve the sodium bicarbonate beds and the resulting solution is then pumped to the surface and re-crystallized by repeated cooling. The product is then spin-dried and screened for foreign materials.
