Overview Ammonium bicarbonate is a uniform high purity leavening agent, produced by a chemical reaction of ammonia, carbon dioxide and water. Ammonium bicarbonate has a very strong scent and because of this is used primarily used to leaven only low-moisture baked goods like crisp cookies and crackers that thoroughly dry out during baking. Ammonium bicarbonate is not used to make cakes because the ammonia gas cannot evaporate when baking cake or other large items. When using ammonium bicarbonate instead of baking soda to bake crisp cookies, the ammonium bicarbonate produces a lighter, crunchy texture. Enjoy our bulk ammonium bicarbonate at wholesale pricing.
