How to store baking soda so it lasts longer
To store baking soda so that it lasts a long time and remains effective, here are some tips you can follow:
1. Use an airtight container.
Store baking soda in an airtight container. A tightly closed container will prevent the baking soda from absorbing moisture and odors from the surrounding air.
2. Keep away from sources of heat and sunlight.
Place the baking soda in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Heat and light can accelerate the degradation of baking soda.
3. Store in a dry place.
Make sure the storage area is not damp. Moisture can cause baking soda to clump and lose its ability as a baking agent.
3. Use a silica gel bag.
Storing baking soda along with a silica gel bag in a container can help absorb excess moisture and keep the baking soda dry.
4. Label and date.
Label the container with the purchase date or storage date to see how long the baking soda has been stored.
5. Avoid contamination.
Make sure the spoon or tool used to scoop the baking soda is clean and dry. Contamination from wet or dirty tools can damage baking soda.
By following these tips, baking soda can be stored in good condition for several years. Usually, baking soda that is stored properly has a shelf life of up to 2-3 years. However, for cooking and baking purposes, it is best to use fresh baking soda for best results.
