Baking Powder
10.0Use 3 tsp baking powder per 1 tsp baking soda; omit or reduce acidic ingredients like buttermilk
Raw applications lean on baking soda's pH, not its heat-triggered leavening — think a pinch in cold beet puree to keep color magenta above pH 7, or 0.25% in raw cacao to round bitterness. No oven means no CO2 pathway, so subs are judged on whether they shift pH without adding chalky texture at room temperature, and whether they dissolve fully in 60F liquid within 30 seconds of stirring.

In a raw application at 3:1, most of baking powder's function goes unused — no heat means the second release never triggers, and leftover filler leaves a chalky film on tongue within 3 seconds. Reserve for raw doughs (cookie dough for scooping) where chilling at 40F masks texture.
