Flour + White wine
A good pairing. Cooks put them together in 3,082 recipes, and they share 47 flavor molecules: the top 24% of all ingredient pairs.
Do flour and white wine go together?
Yes. 3,082 recipes in our collection combine them, and they share 47 flavor molecules. That places them in the top 24% of every ingredient pair we score.
Why they work
They overlap on 47 flavor molecules: 41% of flour's 115. 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.
