What are the some nutrients found in baking powder?

Baking powder does not provide significant amounts of nutrients. It is primarily composed of chemical leavening agents such as sodium bicarbonate and acidifying agents like monocalcium phosphate or sodium acid pyrophosphate. These components help baked goods rise by releasing carbon dioxide when mixed with liquids.

While there may be trace amounts of certain minerals like calcium due to the presence of monocalcium phosphate, the primary purpose of baking powder is to provide leavening, not to contribute substantial nutritional value.
