Black raisin + Goji
Black raisins are made by drying out black Corinth seedless grapes under the sun or in a dehydrator. They have a darker colour compared to the other raisin varieties and are tangy and sweet. Black raisins are used in preparing smoothies, desserts and even as a garnish on salads.
Fruit of Lycium barbarum
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Black raisin and Goji, 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. Black raisin and Goji overlap on 20 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
