Sodium hydrogencarbonate crystal particles, which comprise sodium
hydrogencarbonate crystal particles having an average particle size of
from 50 to 500 .mu.m based on the mass, and anhydrous sodium carbonate,
and sodium carbonate monohydrate and/or Wegscheider's salt, present on
the surface of the sodium hydrogencarbonate crystal particles in such
amounts that the total content of anhydrous sodium carbonate, sodium
carbonate monohydrate, Wegscheider's salt and sodium sesquicarbonate in
the sodium hydrogencarbonate crystal particles is from 0.04 to 1 mass %
as calculated as anhydrous sodium carbonate, anhydrous sodium carbonate
accounts for at least 40 mass % of the total content, and sodium
carbonate monohydrate and/or Wegscheider's salt accounts for from 5 to 60
mass % of the total content. Sodium hydrogencarbonate crystal particles
having a low caking property, which are useful in the field of food
products, pharmaceuticals, bath additives, etc., which require no
necessity to contain an anticaking agent, a process for producing them
and a method for packaging them, can be provided.
