Thank you, bookmarked to read more thoroughly tomorrow. I vaguely thought it was a by-product of lemons but lemon juice is a substitute. It's a by-product of wine-making or made from letting grape juice stand (ferment a little?) until crystals form and are filtered out. I just remembered after I made my first batch of snickerdoodles what made them taste unique, forgot it's combined with baking soda.
