Pepino

classic

Same nonadienal. One brings crunch, the other brings a saline edge.

Iogurte

common

Lactic acid plus a saline green leaf: tzatziki logic without the grating.

The leaf has salinity but no acid. Lemon supplies exactly the missing half.

Morango

common

Green aldehydes under berry sugar, the reason the flower ends up in the bowl.

Fava

uncommon

Two spring greens, one starchy and one saline. Neither needs cooking much.

Melon and cucumber share aldehydes; borage bridges them with salt.

Vinho branco

uncommon

Cucumber aldehyde against grassy methoxypyrazine. Reinforcement, not contrast.

Ostra

rare

Saline leaf on a saline shell. The cucumber note is already in a good oyster.

Two plants that taste of the sea without being in it. Salt one, not both.

Yeast autolysis and a saline green leaf; the bubbles carry the aroma upward.
