Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. anise seed (dried) and anise seed overlap on 6 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
