Cream of tartar

Cream of tartar is a powdered ingredient used in baking, described here as potassium tartrate. Potassium is its main mineral contribution: the supplied data list 20780mg per 100g. The same amount provides 1005 kJ of energy, with 0g of fat and 0g of salt.

Potassium supports normal nerve signalling and muscle function and helps regulate fluid balance in the body. Its high concentration is relevant to people who need to limit potassium, including some people with kidney disease. Cream of tartar is generally used in small quantities, so the amount consumed depends on the recipe. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
