/ MOLECULAR PAIRING
Teff + Spelt, cooked
Affinity score 81%Shared compounds 6Source: modal-canonical-v3
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Teff and Spelt, cooked, 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. Teff and Spelt, cooked overlap on 6 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
