Green plum + Goji
Green Plum is known by various names, like greengage, kakadu plum, wild plum, and murunga. They contain a lot of fiber and are rich in Vitamin C, sodium, calcium, potassium, Vitamin K, Vitamin A, and phytonutrients.Usually, they are used in the preparation of jams, pies, tarts, and sorbets. However, some people are fond of eating them raw with salt.
Goji, goji berry or wolfberry is the fruit of Lycium barbarum and Lycium chinense. These are two very closely related species of boxthorn in the family Solanaceae (which also includes the potato, tomato, eggplant, deadly nightshade, chili pepper, and tobacco). The two species are native to Asia.
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Green plum 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. Green plum and Goji overlap on 20 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
