Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both bean and eggplant, 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. bean and eggplant overlap on 9 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
