Character EDITORIAL
Fried onions smell warm, savoury and sweet, with a rich, browned depth.
Words: savory, warm, sweet, fried. Families: Temperature and texture, Sweet, fruity and floral.
States: cooked (VERIFIED), fried (EDITORIAL). A state says how an entry is met, such as wet, aged or roasted. It does not create a new smell, and it adds no scientific fact by itself: states marked EDITORIAL come from the entry's own records, and only those marked VERIFIED are reported by a VERIFIED claim.
