Innate liquor, heat and odour

Meaning

The discourse says each vegetable yields a fragrant liquor containing its innate liquor, heat, and odour. The triad names qualities understood as belonging to the source itself, rather than merely added by an external preparation. It overlaps but does not coincide with the colour, taste, and smell of the adjacent natural-signature discussion. Keeping both triads distinct avoids replacing a precise local formulation with the vague statement that spirit remains in a substance. The claim concerns what the writer says transformation preserves, not a modern analytical result.
