Light, fluffy, and full of possibility — Greenfields Bicarbonate of Soda is a trusted raising agent and versatile kitchen staple. Whether you’re baking a sponge cake, crisping up pakoras, or perfecting Middle Eastern breads, this pure white powder is a quiet but powerful ingredient every cook needs.
Greenfields Bicarbonate of Soda is a timeless essential found in kitchens across the world. Known as a natural leavening agent, it works magic when combined with acidic ingredients such as yoghurt, lemon, or buttermilk — creating bubbles that lift doughs, lighten batters, and transform recipes.
In Middle Eastern cuisine, bicarbonate of soda is an invaluable ingredient for creating soft, pillowy breads and fluffy falafel. It also brings tenderness to meats, balances the sharpness of tomato-based stews, and even helps beans and pulses cook more evenly. In global kitchens, it’s the secret to perfect cakes, crisp coatings, and melt-in-the-mouth pancakes.
It’s convenient, natural, and endlessly versatile — a small scoop that makes a big difference.

Baking airy sponge cakes and muffins.
Lightening batter for pakoras, tempura, and bhajis.
Perfecting fluffy American-style pancakes.
Making honeycomb and other aerated sweets.
