Cream of Tartar
Cream of Tartar is a fine white powder (potassium bitartrate) commonly used in baking to stabilize egg whites, prevent sugar crystallization, and act as an acid component when combined with baking soda. Nutritionally it is used in such small quantities that it contributes negligible calories or macronutrients, though as a mineral it contains 317.5mg of potassium per 100g. Because it is typically added in small amounts, its overall impact on a recipe's nutrition is minimal; culinary substitutes like lemon juice or white vinegar can perform similar acidifying or stabilizing roles when needed.
