Cream of Tartar

An indispensable ingredient in baking, Frontier® Cream of Tartar acts as a leavening agent in cakes, quick breads and souffles when combined with baking soda and water. An essential ingredient in Snickerdoodle cookies, it also aids in stiffening egg whites -- just add a pinch of cream of tartar while beating.

Product Features

Cream of tartar is widely distributed by nature in many fruits, but is usually obtained as a by-product of wine making. During the fermentation of the grapes, tartar crystallizes in the wine casks. The crystals are collected and purified to produce the white, odorless, acidic powder.
