In case you didn’t know, tartaric acid crystals occur naturally in fruits such as grapes, bananas, and citrus. One of its salts or derivatives, is cream of tartar which is naturally created during the winemaking process. It is often mixed with sodium bicarbonate to form baking powder. Thank you Wikipedia!
