= potassium acid tartrate, potassium bitartrate
Cream of tartar is a by-product of the wine industry. A crystaline acid forms on the inside of wine barrels. The barrels are scraped and the sediment is purified and ground to form cream of tartar.
So does that mean it IS vegan?
To the best of my knowledge, cream of tartar is vegan.
I have seen cream of tartar as an ingredient in various recipes labeled "vegan."
However, if I am wrong, please correct me.
