Q: Is this the same as baking soda?
A: No. Cream of tartar and baking soda are different ingredients and are not interchangeable, though they are often used together.

Q: What does “food safe” mean?
A: It means the ingredient is pure and commonly used in food, and is handled in hygienic conditions, but it may not be labelled as food grade if it is repacked outside a certified food production facility.

Q: Can I use this in bath bombs with citric acid and bicarbonate?
A: Yes, it is often used alongside those ingredients to support a firmer texture and lively fizz.

Q: Why does my cream of tartar clump?
A: It can absorb moisture from the air, keeping it tightly sealed and stored dry helps maintain a free-flowing powder.
