In home baking, everything starts from scratch. Baking ingredients are not only flour, but a whole range of additives that affect the taste, texture and smell of baked goods. From natural spices, through gluten-free baking powders, to organic cocoa or carob - the choice is growing, and awareness of ingredients is growing. A well-composed cabinet with baking products is a guarantee that the cake will be not only tasty, but also honest in terms of composition. Among the most frequently chosen additives are spices - cinnamon, gingerbread spice, nutmeg, as well as natural vanilla pod. Products such as organic baking powder or gluten-free gingerbread powder are a good alternative for people who do not want chemicals in the kitchen. In turn, carob - e.g. in the unroasted version - is an interesting option for those looking for a cocoa substitute with a milder taste.

Baking ingredients – for traditionalists and experimenters

Regardless of whether you are baking a classic sponge cake, sourdough bread or healthy sugar-free muffins – baking ingredients allow you to modify the recipe to suit your own needs. By choosing good quality cocoa (e.g. BIO cocoa from Helpa), you can achieve an intense flavour without additives. Food flavours, e.g. vanilla, chocolate or nut, work great in creams and fit desserts – especially in sugar-free versions, such as zero drops. It is also worth having something on hand for a quick dessert: puddings and jellies, preferably in BIO or gluten-free versions. An example? Strawberry jelly with fruit, which does not need much more than hot water. For children (and adults) it is a way to make a quick, natural dessert without artificial flavours and colourings.

How to choose baking ingredients that really matter?

There is no point in taking shortcuts when it comes to baking ingredients. Here, every detail has an impact – baking powder with or without phosphates, synthetic vanilla vs. real vanilla, cocoa with additives or pure, certified. That's why it's good to have a list of products to keep on hand: spices, cocoa, carob, gluten-free baking powder, sugar-free puddings, natural flavors. Thanks to them, you can prepare not only cakes, but also homemade bars, pancakes, tart bases or desserts in a fit version. Baking ingredients are not only a help in the kitchen – they also control what goes into the oven and on the plate. And although they are not visible at first glance in the finished product, they are the ones that decide whether the cake will taste the way you expect.
