How to read these results
Beats 99 of every 100 random ingredient pairs (we scored 20,000). A rank, not a percent match.
Lots of shared molecules, few recipes that use them together. Worth a test, not a promise.
861 ingredients and 5,139 flavor molecules from food-chemistry data and papers, plus 610,412 recipes for how cooks combine them. Methodology →

Questions
How does the pairing tool work?
It compares the flavor molecules two ingredients share, then checks how often cooks actually put them together in 610,412 recipes. The ranking blends both, so a pair needs chemistry and some kitchen evidence to rank near the top.
What does “Top 1% of all pairs” mean?
We scored 20,000 random ingredient pairs. Top 1% means this pair scores higher than 99 out of every 100 of them. It is a rank, not a percent match.
What is a hidden gem?
A pair that shares a lot of flavor molecules but that few recipes use together. Shared chemistry is a reason to try it, not a promise that it works on the plate.
Is it free?
Yes. Every tool shows its top results for free. Pro shows the full list of results, and the API gives the same data to your own app.
Can I use it for recipe or product development?
Yes. Chefs use it to find a third ingredient or a swap; R&D teams use the API and the compound pages to check what two ingredients share before a bench test.
