Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Grapefruit/Pummelo hybrid and American butterfish overlap on 20 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
