Cream of Tartar

Fox’s Spices Cream of Tartar 1 kg is a baking pantry essential for both home cooks and professional bakers. Made from pure potassium hydrogen tartrate, this fine white powder supports the structure of your baked goods, balances sweetness, and ensures reliable stability in even the most delicate recipes. Whether you’re whipping up a batch of meringues, icing candies, or perfecting gluten-free baking, this 1kg tub gives you an ample supply for frequent use.

With a neutral taste and long shelf life, it seamlessly integrates into recipes without altering flavour. Beyond its baking chemistry benefits, cream of tartar also aids in keeping home beets vivid during cooking and maintaining the whiteness of boiled egg whites.
