Flour + Grape
A good pairing. Cooks put them together in 4,482 recipes, and they share 114 flavor molecules: the top 22% of all ingredient pairs.
Do flour and grape go together?
Yes. 4,482 recipes in our collection combine them, and they share 114 flavor molecules. That places them in the top 22% of every ingredient pair we score.
Why they work
Almost everything flour carries, grape has too: 114 of flour's 115 flavor molecules also occur in grape. Among the shared key aromas are isobutyraldehyde (malty, green) and eugenol (clove, spicy). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.
What each one brings
flour
The tartness. Sour notes make up 24% of its labelled aroma molecules, against 13% for grape. It carries 1 molecule grape doesn't have.
grape
The fruit. Fruity notes make up 23% of its labelled aroma molecules, against 3% for flour. It carries 456 molecules flour doesn't have.
Add a third ingredient
- Bulgur: the best fit for both, top 1% of pairs with flour, top 24% with grape.
- Semolina: top 1% of pairs with flour, top 27% with grape.
- Jalapeno: top 1% of pairs with flour, top 26% with grape.
- Almond: top 5% of pairs with flour, top 9% with grape.
Ranked by the average of its two pairing scores. Only foods used in at least 100 recipes are suggested.
Recipes with flour and grape
Mostly desserts: 981 of the 1,271 recipes with a course label are desserts (from a sample of 3,000 recipes that use both).
Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Almost all of flour's flavor molecules (114 of 115) are also found in grape, but grape has 456 that flour lacks. Flour gives you part of grape's character without most of its fruit. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
