Tartaric Acid is a go-to ingredient for sugar artists and candy makers who want more control over crystallization and flavor. Sharper than citric acid, it’s known for its bold tartness and its ability to fine-tune the texture of cooked sugar. Commonly derived from grapes, this crystalline powder is also the primary acid found in wine, prized for its role in balancing sweetness and adding crispness.
Whether you're making showpieces, gummies, or poured sugar work, tartaric acid helps prevent unwanted crystallization by inverting sugar into glucose and fructose. But balance is key—too much will weaken structure, so measure carefully for the best results. Sold in a 3.4 oz bottle, this pantry essential is great for serious confectioners and curious creatives alike.
