Botanical Name: Adansonia Gregorii
Country of Origin: Canada
Common Name: Cream of Tartar
English Name: Cream of Tartar
French Name: Crème de Tartar
Also Known As: Potassium Bitartrate, Tartaric Acid Salt, Baking Cream of Tartar, KHT Powder
Part Used: Crystalline powder derived from tartar deposits of grape juice fermentation
Description: Cream of Tartar is a fine, white crystalline powder derived from potassium bitartrate, a natural by-product formed during the fermentation of grape juice into wine. The powder is collected from the sediment left in wine barrels, purified, and refined to produce a consistent, smooth, and dry product suitable for culinary and other applications.
The production process involves careful collection of the tartar deposits, followed by purification, drying, and grinding to a uniform particle size. This ensures a stable, free-flowing powder that maintains its natural colour and chemical stability, making it convenient to store and handle. The resulting product is clean, finely milled, and visually consistent.
The finished cream of tartar powder is pure white, free-flowing, and smooth to the touch. Its stable crystalline form allows for precise measuring and blending, and it disperses easily in dry or liquid formulations without clumping. The powder retains the natural properties of potassium bitartrate in a convenient, easy-to-use form.
Uses: Cream of Tartar is commonly used in baking to stabilise egg whites, prevent sugar crystallisation, and improve the texture of confections. It is also suitable for culinary applications such as frostings, meringues, sauces, and beverage mixes. Additionally, it can be used in craft projects, natural dye formulations, and educational kits where a fine, white, powdered ingredient is required for blending, texture, and visual effect.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
