CREAM OF TARTAR 1KG

Cream of tartar, which is actually a by-product of the wine-making process, is an acidic powder that is typically used in baking to stabilise eggs and creams, as well as adding volume and thickness to the final product

The tartar also helps to increase the volume of the egg foam and keeps them bright and white. Cream of tartar is also often added to baked products to help activate the alkaline baking soda. In fact, cream of tartar mixed with baking soda is what gives us baking powder

The acid denatures some of the egg white proteins and makes the eggs froth up faster and makes a stiffer meringue. Cream of tartar is good for this as it is dry so it doesn't throw off the liquid content and it has little flavour of its own. It is a weak acid. It purpose is to react with the baking soda for leavening
