I spied this test for freshness somewhere years ago. It could have been from King Arthur.
Test for freshness: Place in a small bowl.
Baking Powder - 1T water with 1/4 tsp baking powder, stir.
Baking Soda - 1 T vinegar with 1/4 tsp baking soda, stir.
If you don't see a reaction it's time to buy new.
