Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Vanilla extract and Rice, white, long-grain, regular, unenriched, cooked without salt overlap on 3 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions — and our deterministic matching algorithm — place them together.
