The object of the month for April takes us back to the 1960s and the beginnings of backaldrin, which was then known simply as aldrin.

At that time, baking powder was sold to bakers in Austria in the displayed 1 kg tin. The history of baking powder generally dates back to the American scientist Eben Norton Horsford, who developed it in the mid-19th century.
