Green plum + Green cabbage
Green Plum is known by various names, like greengage, kakadu plum, wild plum, and murunga. They contain a lot of fiber and are rich in Vitamin C, sodium, calcium, potassium, Vitamin K, Vitamin A, and phytonutrients.Usually, they are used in the preparation of jams, pies, tarts, and sorbets. However, some people are fond of eating them raw with salt.
Green cabbage has numerous pale green leaves that are thick and broad with prominent veins and a slightly waxy finish.They overlap to form a dense round to oblate ball and can measure 15 to 18 centimeters in diameter and may weigh up to 10 pounds each. The leaves are firm when raw and tender when cooked and it offers a sweet, grassy flavor.
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Green plum and Green cabbage, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
