Rita, thanks for the info. There's a Whole Foods market in my area, but it's about an hour's drive. I think it might be easier for me to just order the products online from Healthy Heart Market. I'm going to order both the baking powder & the baking soda. This low salt cooking is something else, isn't it? As you said in another thread, if a product is low fat, it usually is overflowing with salt & sugar. On the other hand, if a product is low salt, it can have more fat & sugar. I spend so much time in the grocery stores just examining labels. And when I find something truly low sodium, I buy several at a time. You never know when the store will stop carrying it. Please feel free to share good products, recipes, or tricks you use with me. I'm keeping track of all the acceptable products I find & where I obtained them. I'm also keeping track of recipes & main dishes that work. I started a blog just so I could record all the little "work around" solutions I've developed. It's really encouraging to me to have someone else on the forum who is dealing with this challenge. Your hubby is lucky to have you...

This is interesting: RUMFORD BAKING POWDER - Double Acting Premium Rumford® Baking Powder is Certified KosherParve, Certified Kosher and also Aluminum Free - which ensures against bitter after-taste in recipes or finished baked goods...! Premium RUMFORD BAKING POWDER - Double Acting 10 oz. Resealable CanisterHistory of Rumford Baking Powder: In 1859, Eben Norton Horsford (1818-1893), a co-founder of The Rumford Company, formulated and patented Rumford Baking Powder, the first calcium phosphate baking powder. The Rumford brand name comes from Count Rumford (né Benjamin Thompson of Woburn, Massachusetts), a gifted inventor and scientist. Hulman & Co. acquired the Rumford brand when it purchased the Rumford Chemical Works of East Providence, RI in 1950. Clabber Girl Corporation, which began as a wholesale distributor of general merchandise, takes its name from the most renowned member of the family, Clabber Girl Baking Powder. You might be surprised to know that several other trusted, long-lived brand names comprise the Clabber Girl family of brands. For much of the previous century, Clabber Girl Corporation operated as a collection of separate companies representing the various brands: The Clabber Girl Baking Powder Co., The Rumford Baking Powder Co., and The KC Baking Powder Co. In 2000, the company was reorganized and renamed Clabber Girl Corporation. The Clabber Girl brand name has recently been extended to other quality products in the baking aisle. Rumford Baking Powder is one of the three leading baking powders in the United States today. Years of testing resulted in a precise formulation to ensure that your baked goods are consistent in quality and uniformity, batch after batch for any family dinner or party gathering. Baking with Rumford Baking Powder: As an all-phosphate baking powder, Rumford Baking Powder does not contain any aluminum. This property makes it somewhat faster acting than typical double-acting baking powders. You'll still see a boost of leavening in the oven, but most of the reaction occurs in the mixing bowl. While this makes a more delicate crumb structure in the finished product, do not dawdle in the baking area. You've got to work quickly for best results...! When using Rumford Baking Powder, mix all your dry ingredients together, then add your wet ingredients at the end. Don't stir your batter more than necessary after adding the water. Two-thirds of Rumford's reaction takes place in your mixing bowl. The other 1/3 of Rumford's reaction takes place in the oven. Further mixing will have a tendency to stir out some of the forming carbon dioxide bubbles created between the baking powder and the water in your batter. So, without spending more time than necessary, stir the batter until smooth, put it into the pan and bake it immediately. Premium RUMFORD® Baking PowderParve, Certified Kosher is a source of calcium in the diet. Rumford Baking Powder is certified Kosher and is also perfect for vegetarians, as it contains NO MEAT. Rumford may be used in the exact quantities called for in your favorite recipes and is an all phosphate baking powder which is your assurance against after-taste and other harmful ingredients. Rumford Baking Powder will improve the crumb and texture of all chemically leavened foods: cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, and more ...!!!

Heck, I don't turn up my nose at any of them, I figure there's always the possibility that I'll be pleasantly surprised, even by a site that's disappointed me before. I was thinking of these with chili... Annie

When I first started cooking, I didn't know that baking soda and baking powder were two different things. I thought they were interchangeable terms. The one I always had on hand was baking powder, so that's what I used whenever I made a particular recipe for chocolate chip cookies that actually called for baking soda. Everyone loved my chocolate chip cookies. I didn't learn the error of my ways until years later. You may be fine. It probably depends a lot on the particular recipe. I'm also curious to know how they turn out.
