Edible alkali is solid, round, white and soluble in water, like fine salt and flour.

Eating alkali is not a common condiment, but a food loosening agent and tenderizing agent, which can make dry raw materials expand rapidly, soften fibers, remove the sour taste of dough and play a neutralizing role.

Proper use can bring excellent color, fragrance, taste and shape to food, thus increasing people's appetite. Alkali is widely used in the processing of noodles, bread, steamed bread and other foods.
