Flavor stand-ins for the kidney beans

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (wheat, spelt, flour, barley, millet, lentils, beans):

  2. Cashew nutbetter flavor fit
  3. Flaxseedbetter flavor fit
  4. Kidney beansthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against wheat, spelt, flour, barley, millet, lentils, beans. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
