Bob's Red Mill Baking Powder, 16 Ounce (Pack of 4)

This is a great baking powder, and it's also nice in that it's aluminum free. I'll fully admit I'd not noticed the inclusion of it in other baking powders I've bought, but then, I never looked at the label of them until I purchased this one. It works well, and this is a great way to get it in bulk if you do a fair amount of baking, or even just a fair amount of pancakes/waffles. This (as opposed to their baking soda) is the product Bob's Red Mill ought to put the "Aluminum Free" label on, given that a lot of baking sodas are now aluminum free. I generally store it in the fridge when not in use, and store the extra unopened packages in the freezer until we're ready to open them. It's a great way to get baking powder for all the baking, waffles, and pancakes around our house!

I read the previous reviews saying the packaging was bad and thought that was not a good reason for a bad review. Was I wrong. My package arrived with baking powder all over the place. When I opened the amazon box there was a big cloud of baking powder. The interior BRM box was open and at least two of the bags had exploded. It was a complete mess. Now I go back to try and return the baking powder and the site says it's not eligible for return. WHAT?? DO NOT buy this product. Update: I called Amazon and told them what happened. They said I couldn't return it since it was a consumable item so they are sending me a replacement with next day shipping for free. Amazon has the best customer service. I'm still keeping the rating of this at one star until I receive an intact set of bags. Update 2: The replacement package had the same problem. Two bags were completely blown up and the other two had small leaks. I called Amazon and they credited me back the purchase amount and also gave me a small credit for the hassle. Five stars for Amazon, One star for BRM baking powder.

The outer box and the inner packing box were both in good shape when this arrived, but all four bags in the inner box were torn or had holes in them. The contents were spilling out of both boxes when it arrived. On a positive note, Amazon refunded the purchase price promptly.

I wanted to buy some baking soda, and not baking powder. I kept it for future sake baking but I think a warning, or a visible statement for the customers not make the confusion. For example: "*Consumer aware: THIS PRODUCT IS BAKING POWDER, NOT BAKING SODA!!!" or something like that. ///

I gave this product, as sold here through Amazon, 4 stars. The baking powder itself is great, and Bob's Red Mill doesn't play around. For the price you pay, even including shipping to most places, this is a great deal on high quality baking powder. The only reason I gave this baking powder 4 stars is something others have noticed: packaging. Now, to be clear, this is the fault of Bob's Red Mill, and not Amazon. As others have noted, baking powder is very fine, but the standard bags that Bob's Red Mill uses doesn't always keep all the powder in over time. Usually, you may get some very minor leakage, giving you a definite dusting inside the shipping box. But, even big box discount/wholesale stores often can't match Amazon's price, and not every supermarket or grocery store carry baking powder that's aluminum-free

I love to bake and Bob's Red Mill is a great product! Finding it on Amazon prime two day shipping was a treat worth dancing about. In the past I have ordered a five pound canister of Rumford. It is a great product too, but this comes in one pound packages which reduce the clumping that can occur when products like this are purchased in bulk. I will be looking for more such items in the future. You can easily give as gifts too.

This baking powder does not include aluminum. I never knew some baking powders used aluminum. How many years have I been putting metal into my baked goods? Yikes!! That doesn't sit well with me. I've lately become aware of the way our food is being grown and processed in the US. The use of genetically modified or genetically engineered wheat, corn, soy, canola, etc. is frightening!! My friend, Patt, calls it "Franken Food". Our gov't does not require manufacturers to label ingredients that are sourced GMO or GE (European and Asian gov'ts require it). Consumers need to be self advocates for their own health and the health of their families. That's why I love Amazon.com and Bob's Red Mill. The prices are competitive and the variety is endless. Thanks for providing options for families!

I just opened the outer layer of the box and got baking powder everywhere! The plastic packages that contain the powder are broken. I can't return it due to Amazon policy. Few days later: Amazon sent me a new package for free. This one was in good shape.
