Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Mixed Bean

Analysing hundreds of thousands of recipes uncovers mixed bean's optimal flavour pairings.

Mixed bean immediately conjures the embrace of bean and the kiss of starch, but beneath its sweet surface lies a nuanced symphony of subtle flavour notes: pea, petrichor, and even hints of iron. These are the notes that lend it such remarkable, resonant depth. Understanding how these layered flavours work together is the secret to unlocking truly exceptional pairings.

To illuminate these harmonies, we embarked on an ambitious journey, analysing thousands of ingredients. Each was meticulously deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, allowing us to pinpoint precisely which notes complement in both classic and unexpected ways. Our analysis reveals, for example, how vegetable broth's selinon tones carry mixed bean, and how celery's selinon notes create a surprising synergy with its starchy aroma.

An ingredient's flavour comes from its core characteristics, like vegetal, earthy, and maillard, combined with its unique aroma notes (outer bars). When pairing ingredients, aim to include a broad variety of core characteristics for a balanced dish. And choose aroma notes that complement each other for a harmonious combination.

Unlocking Flavour Combinations

To understand exactly which flavours harmonise, we compiled a database of over 50,000 ingredient pairings commonly used in cooking. We then analysed these pairings, identifying the specific flavour notes that frequently appear together.

The Flavours That Harmonise With Bean Notes

Our analysis reveals a strong connection between bean and celery flavours. Since mixed bean has a distinct beany flavour, try pairing it with the celery-like flavours of celery.

The recipes below provide inspiration for pairing mixed bean with celery.

Harmonious Flavours Of Mixed Bean

Just as our analysis reveals that bean and celery-like notes combine harmoniously, we can identify the full profile of flavours that harmonise with each of the flavour notes present in mixed bean. For instance, the pea-ish notes of mixed bean are strongly associated with linalool and oniony flavours.

The aroma notes linked to the various aroma notes of mixed bean can be seen highlighted in the pink bars below.

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., Mixed bean), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
