🍰 How it’s used:
Use it exactly like regular baking powder — add to dry ingredients when making cakes, muffins, biscuits, scones, etc., to help the batter rise and become light and fluffy.
Baobab is known as the cream of tartar tree, so we use organic baobab fruit powder as a replacement for this ingredient in our baking powder.

Brief history:
Baking powder was developed in the mid-1800s as a convenient alternative to yeast, making home baking quicker and more reliable. Early versions combined bicarbonate of soda with natural acids to create a chemical reaction that released carbon dioxide, helping doughs and batters rise. Modern organic baking powders, like Good Life Organic Baking Powder, return to these traditional principles by using natural, plant-based acid sources such as baobab instead of synthetic additives, offering a cleaner and more wholesome approach to everyday baking.
