Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Poppy Seed


Poppy seed

Top flavour pairings and poppy seed recipes, revealed through the hidden methmatics of flavour.

Earthy aroma and amygdaline notes are at the forefront of poppy seed's flavour profile, but identifying its perfect partner requires exploring its subtle nuances. We need to study the complex interplay of notes that reside within its bouquet, such as blossom, hay, and hints of sesame, and understand how the notes affect each other and which notes they go well with.

An ingredient's flavour profile is determined by its core characteristics (e.g. floral, herbal, and woody) enhanced by layers of subtle aroma notes (outer bars). When pairing ingredients, aim for a mix of core traits to build balance, and select complementary aroma notes to create harmony.

The Art of Flavour Pairing


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.

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



The information presented here is generated by our automated analytical pipelines. When an ingredient's flavour profile is updated, the analysis is updated automatically.
