What food group does baking powder come in?
Baking Powder would be more of an additive than a food group. If a base component if Baking Powder is Corn Flour, and then Cream of Tartar - one could say it is more in the grain group. (Cream of Tartar would be a byproduct of wide fermintation, but the tartar itself is nothing more than an additive at that point, so it can't live in the fruits group... So- Baking Powder, as an additive, could be considered a cousin of the grains group.

How are baking powder and baking soda different?
Both of them are baking soda, which is a chemical that makes baked foods light and fluffy when it comes into contact with acid in the food. Baking powder, which contains an acid, is used when the food doesn't have enough acid to activate the baking soda. It's not recommended, but I've used baking powder in recipes that called for baking soda and it worked well. The opposite is not true--if the recipe calls for baking powder, there's not enough acid in there to kick off baking soda and eating the product will be like chewing on a rock.
