Red onion + Green onion, (scallion), bulb and greens, root removed, raw
Red onions are cultivars of the onion (Allium cepa) with purplish-red skin and white flesh tinged with red.These onions tend to be medium to large in size and have a mild flavor.Red onions are available throughout the year and are high in flavonoids and fibre (compared to white and yellow onions).
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Red onion and Green onion, (scallion), bulb and greens, root removed, raw, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Red onion and Green onion, (scallion), bulb and greens, root removed, raw overlap on 18 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
