History

The artificial creation of soda was first made in the late 18th century in France by Nicolas Leblanc. As it was not custom to share the secrets of such discoveries, it was kept a mystery and only used in France at the time. It was used in baking, giving pastries extraordinary lightness. Nowadays, it is widely used in the same way as baking powder, and millions of tons of it are produced around the world. Not only is it used for cooking, but it is also used for eliminating unpleasant odors, brushing teeth, and for medical purposes. In fact, in ancient Egypt, there were whole soda lakes that released soda under certain conditions, so we are not the first ones to use this substance.
