Product Description

Ready to bake a cake? Then grab one of the famous pink packs of Alsa baking powder, known in France as levure chimique or levure alsacienne. Unlike most American brands, Alsa is single-acting, which means that it creates the gas needed for leavening as soon as it is mixed with liquid ingredients. The double-acting powders that are common in the U.S. release gas in two stages: first when mixed with liquid ingredients and then when heated. The Alsa brand was founded in 1897 by Emile Moench, born in Alsace four years after the region had been ceded to Germany following the war of 1870-1871. Moench worked first as an aide cuisinier for the wagons-lit and then went to Vienna to perfect his craft. It was there, working for a baker, that he first came to know of baking powder, then still under development (baking powder was invented by the German August Oetker in 1891). He took the knowledge with him back to France, where he opened a small fine food shop and sold flans and cakes made with the product. Eventually he opened a factory in Nancy to produce the baking powder commercially. The pink packets have always featured a woman in Alsatian head dress; a stork, symbol of Alsace, also appears at times. Each sachet contains about 1 tablespoon of baking powder.

It is good. I will warn you that it makes your baked goods get a very good rise and with that said you will need to adjust the quantity used but it has to be the best i've ever used. I am comparing it to what i can usually find at my local grocery chain shop.

I am NOT a baker. And in searching for the ingredient to make my grandmas tortillas my research showed this was an excellent product. I’ve also used it in making sweets. Next I’m going to use it for challah bread and French bread. Super excited and so far it’s working extremely well.

5.0 out of 5 stars good for vietnamese dish
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2012
Size: 0.38 Ounce (Pack of 8)Verified Purchase
My husband was stationed in korea and I could not find this product anywhere to make my vietnamese sausage. For a minute I thought i was getting a good price....When I came back to the states I bought this item in a asain market for only $1.09! I was so mad when I realized I could have gotten 35 sachets for the price that this person is charging for 7! So my advice is if you really need this product and cant find it anywhere then I guess you gotta buy it...but if you have access to a chinatown or a asian market they will have this prduct and sell it to you for 4x less money! WHAT A RIP OFF!
