Great Value Baking Soda Review

Every household has a few common ingredients in their pantry. One of these products is baking soda. Baking soda is needed in most bread recipes and many other recipes too. You might need this for a science project too. No matter what your need is you can find many brands in the stores you shop. One of the most common brands that you hear and see all the time is Arm and Hammer, but there are many generic brands out there that are just as good as their brand. Great Value Baking Soda is one of those brands. I bought this for the first time recently when I needed it for making caramel popcorn.

I had actually gone to the store and compared all of the brands. I found that the Great Value brand has had many great products at a cheaper price and they have performed just as well. So I decided to purchase the Great Value Baking Soda to give it a try. I actually had a little Arm and Hammer on hand, but I didn't have enough to do all of my batches that I needed it for. I did a comparison between the two to see if the baking sodas made the popcorn taste any different.

I made the first batch with Arm and Hammer Baking Soda. The caramel reacted the same in the pan when I added it. It fluffed up and expanded almost coming out of the pan. I poured it onto the popcorn as normal and then baked it like always too. Then I started my next batch. For this batch I used the Great Value brand instead of the Arm and Hammer. The caramel reacted the exact same and it too almost came out of the pan. I finished the popcorn the same way. When both popcorns were cool, I decided to try them. I tried the one that I made with the Great Value Baking Soda first. I then took a drink of water to clear my palate and then I tried to one I made with Arm and Hammer. There was no difference between the two.

For this reason, I can tell you that next time you need baking soda; you should try the Great Value brand. This brand is much cheaper and works exactly the same. It isn't clumped up in the box and the packaging is still the same style as the other brands. I think if you try it you will enjoy it and find that my experiment results were accurate. Give it a try; what do you have to lose with their 100% guarantee.
