Why is it masculine?

Ingredienti is masculine in Italian because it derives from the Latin "ingrediens" (present participle of "ingredi," meaning "to enter"), which uses the masculine form; the -iente ending in Italian typically preserves the gender of its Latin source. This is a regular pattern rather than an exception—most Italian words ending in -iente that come from Latin participles are masculine.
