Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Cowpea, dehulled, not soaked, boiled* (without salt), drained and cowpea, 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. Cowpea, dehulled, not soaked, boiled* (without salt), drained and cowpea overlap on 20 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
