  2. Cardamomthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, butter, sugar, vanilla, chocolate. 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).
