Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Chicory [Red], raw and Chicory [Green], raw, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
5-caffeoylquinic acid
Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Chicory [Red], raw and Chicory [Green], raw overlap on 1 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
