Atta flour

Exquisite atta flour flavour pairings and recipes, revealed through data science.

Atta flour is defined by the unmistakable taste of wheat and starch, yet its initial bitterness is only the opening gambit. Beneath lies a sophisticated tapestry of subtle toast, whispers of malt, and the dried-grass aroma of hay, giving it remarkable depth. The key to an exceptional harmony lies in knowing how these notes work together.

To chart these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, each deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, pinpointing the notes that best complement this ingredient’s profile. Our analysis reveals, for example, how sea bream's saline tones ground atta flour, and how nigella seed's piperine notes create a surprising synergy with its grainy sweetness.

    How Flavonomics Works


    We've pioneered a unique, data-driven approach to decode the intricate art of flavour pairing. Our goal is to move beyond intuition and uncover the science of why certain ingredients harmonise beautifully. This rigorous methodology allows us to provide you with insightful and reliable pairing recommendations.

    Our analysis begins with over 50,000 carefully selected recipes from acclaimed chefs like Galton Blackiston, Marcello Tully, and Pierre Lambinon. This premium dataset ensures our model distils genuine culinary excellence and creativity.

    Each ingredient from these recipes is deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, creating a unique numerical "flavour fingerprint." This quantification allows us to apply advanced analytical methods to identify complex patterns between flavour notes.

    We identify popular ingredient combinations that frequently appear in our recipe database. Regression analysis is then performed on these pairings to statistically validate and pinpoint truly harmonious flavours.

    These insights drive our predictive model, which allows us to take any ingredient (e.g., Atta flour), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
