Product Info:
Cream of Tarter is a natural, fine white powder that is left behind after grape juice has fermented to wine.

It is also used as the acid ingredient in some baking powders. 

Suggested Use:
Ready to use. Use 1/8 tsp. per egg white to make souffles, meringues, angel food, chiffon cakes, and candy.
