Baking Soda
Baking soda is 3-4 times stronger than baking powder. A measurement error here is fatal: too little means no rise; too much results in a terrible, soapy metallic taste. Being a fine powder prone to clumping, gram-level precision is your safety net.

Used in recipes that contain acidic ingredients. It also helps promote browning and a more tender texture.
How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Baking Soda has a density of 0.96 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 10 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Baking Soda so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.

FAQ
- Why weigh such small amounts?
- Because baking soda is potent. A teaspoon can weigh between 4g and 7g depending on how packed it is. That 3g difference is enough to ruin the taste of a batch of cookies.
