Cream of tartar is not
a herb, a spice, a vegetable or a blend of herbs and
spices. It is a natural and pure ingredient deposited
on the inside of wine barrels after the grape juice
has fermented into wine.
Cream of tartar is used to stabilize
egg whites into a stiff foam used for light meringues
on top of lemon, banana and custard pies. It is the
main ingredient in baking powder and has absolutely
no odor or taste |
