Adasonia gregorii

Originally discovered by the French, this is actually a byproduct of the wine making process. Tartaric acid forms inside the fermenting casks into a white crystalline substance. The French found that this is not only a souring agent, but also a stabilizer for whipped egg whites and the like.
