So, what is carbonate-acide de sodium?

Carbonate-acide de sodium, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a white crystalline powder with a slightly alkaline taste and a mild odor. It is commonly used as a leavening agent in baking, as it reacts with acidic ingredients such as buttermilk, yogurt, or vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes dough or batter to rise. Sodium bicarbonate is also used in the food industry as a buffering agent, to regulate pH levels in various foods and beverages. It is considered safe for consumption and is a versatile ingredient in many recipes, from baked goods to savory dishes.
