  How to Store Your Baking Supplies for Long Shelf Life

• Keep in an Airtight Container: 

  Once opened, transfer baking powder, corn flour, and custard powder into dry, airtight glass or plastic containers to prevent clumping caused by humidity.

• Store in a Cool, Dark Pantry: 

  Keep food colors and agar-agar away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve color stability and setting power.

• Use Dry Spoons: 

  Always use a completely dry spoon when scooping out baking powder or corn flour to avoid introducing moisture into the package.

  Frequently Asked Questions 

  1: Are the baking colors and powders sold on Metro Mart authentic?

  Ans: Yes, absolutely. Metro Mart sources all baking ingredients directly from official brand distributors and certified importers, guaranteeing 100% original, food-safe products.

  2: Is Savory Agar-Agar a plant-based alternative to gelatin?

  Ans: Yes! Agar-Agar is derived from natural red algae, making it a $100\%$ vegetarian and halal gelling agent. It sets firmer than gelatin and stays solid even at warmer room temperatures.

  3: What is the difference between Baking Powder and Baking Soda?

  Ans: Baking Powder (like SAAD Baking Powder) contains both an acid and a base, making it complete and ready to react when mixed with moisture and heat. Baking Soda requires an added acid (like buttermilk, lemon, or yogurt) in the recipe to activate its leavening effect.

  4: Are Foster Clark’s liquid food colors concentrated?

  Ans: Yes, Foster Clark’s food colors are highly vibrant and concentrated. A few drops are usually enough to achieve bright shades in icings, batters, and syrups without altering the flavor or consistency of your dish.

  5: Can I use corn flour as a gluten-free thickener?

  Ans: Yes, pure corn flour (cornstarch) is naturally gluten-free and acts as an excellent, clear thickener for soups, glazes, and dessert sauces.

  6: How are fragile liquid color bottles packaged for delivery?

  Ans: Liquid food colors and packaged powders are wrapped in protective packaging and placed in sturdy delivery boxes to ensure they reach your doorstep safe, leak-free, and intact.
