souring agent

Tartaric acid

Tatri

3.9 g1 teaspoon

12 g1 tablespoon

Granular food-grade tartaric acid bulk density ~0.79 g/ml; 1 tsp = 3.9 g

Nothing fully replicates tartaric acid's intensely sharp, dry, and neutral sourness without introducing liquid or fruity flavours.

• 
  Dried mango powder

  Use double the weight. Adds a sharp, dry tang, though it introduces a pale beige colour and mild fruitiness.

• 
  Lemon juice

  Use 3 to 4 times the weight, added off the heat. Introduces liquid volume and a distinct citrus note.
