Recipes with flour and jicama
Of all the recipes we matched to both, only 1 carries a course label; it is mains.
Some of these have the ingredient list only, without the method. Where we have the original source, the recipe page links to it.
The count of 11 includes every recipe our index matched to both foods, some through an alternative or a related ingredient. This list is shorter because it shows only recipes whose ingredient lines name both. Open a few to see how they are used.
Can you swap one for the other?
No. Flour and jicama are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common
Almost everything flour carries, jicama has too: 105 of flour's 115 flavor molecules also occur in jicama. Among the shared key aromas are isobutyraldehyde (malty, green) and eugenol (clove, spicy). Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
