English term or phrase: baking soda
Ar tai tas pats, kas kepimo milteliai (baking powder) ar valgomoji soda?

Pavyzdžiai:

1) For flowers that thrive in alkaline soil (like begonias and hydrangeas), mix just a little bit of baking soda in with water and use it on those plants. The extra baking soda will help them grow and flower beautifully!

2) Get the anthill damp and then pour baking soda on it. Half an hour later, add some vinegar to the anthill and the ants will ingest the mixture and die, making your garden ant-free!

3) If you have a compost that reeks, then use some baking soda to fix it up! Baking soda helps stop acid buildup so the smell isn’t as overwhelming.

valgomoji soda
Explanation:
Kepimo milteliai ir valgomoji soda - ne tas pats.

What is the difference between baking soda and baking powder?

Short answer: acid. But it can make a big difference for baked goods, so let's explain. Baking soda has only one ingredient: sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is a base that reacts when it comes into contact with acids, like buttermilk, yogurt or vinegar.
