Baking soda, Quoting "Most of it comes from Wyoming, which contains the world鈥檚 largest trona deposit. 锘 There is no risk of depletion anytime soon according to the Wyoming State Geological Survey":
鈥淏aking soda comes out of the ground in the form of minerals nahcolite and trona, which are refined into soda ash (a.k.a. sodium carbonate), then turned into baking soda (a.k.a. sodium bicarbonate ), among other things鈥
I have been to the mine (it鈥檚 way out in the boonies) and there's huge trucks hauling the mineral out. You can pick it up from the roadways that spilled. It's a solid "rock" in crystalline form. But if the 鈥渞ock鈥 gets wet, it will dissolve.
