Soda is a leavening agent that promotes the rise of doughs due to its reaction with acids. In Italian cuisine, it is mainly used for preparing sweets and cookies, where it helps achieve a light and fluffy texture. There are different varieties of bicarbonate, but food-grade bicarbonate is specifically purified for culinary use.
