Rumford Baking Powder is the leading orthophosphate baking powder in the United States today and the number three branded baking powder overall. Years of testing resulted in a precise formulation to ensure that your baked goods are consistent in quality and uniformity, batch after batch. Hulman & Co. acquired the Rumford brand when it purchased the Rumford Chemical Works of East Providence, RI in 1950. The Rumford brand name comes from Count Rumford (né Benjamin Thompson), a gifted inventor and scientist.

As an all-phosphate baking powder, Rumford Baking Powder does not contain any aluminum. This property makes it somewhat faster acting than typical double-acting baking powders. You’ll still see a boost of leavening in the oven, but most of the reaction occurs in the mixing bowl. While this makes a more delicate crumb structure in the finished product, do not dawdle. Work quickly for best results.

For many years, we have manufactured high quality products for health conscious consumers under the Rumford name. Rumford Naturals products are made from all natural ingredients, with non-aluminum baking powder and whole grains. Rumford Naturals Cornbread & Muffin Mix is the first in our new line of healthful, tasty and convenient baking mixes. Watch for new products under the Rumford Naturals label coming soon.

Rumford Cornstarch represents the most exciting thing to happen to cornstarch in several generations. Made from certified non-genetically modified corn, it is 100% pure cornstarch and comes in a convenient re-sealable, recyclable container. The package reduces the mess of cooking with cornstarch—no more “snowfalls” of starch when you open the bag in a box of other brands. The product stays fresher, too, since the plastic lid and canister keep moisture out. And forget bugs! No infestations in this cornstarch.

It mixes up silky smooth, so your sauces and gravies come out perfect every time. And they won’t taste starchy either. Smooth enough to blend right into hot liquid, it saves you the hassle of diluting in cold water before adding to your stock or broth. Try it today!
