Health benefits of truffles
Truffles have been prized for centuries, and these fungi are now one of the most expensive foods you can buy. The price of a pound of truffles can be as high as $450. Unlike mushrooms that grow on the ground, truffles grow on tree roots 5 to 10 cm below the ground. Special skills and tools are required to find their location and collect them gently. Sometimes people will leave it to well-trained dogs and pigs to sniff them. Truffles look very different from mushrooms. They have no stems or gills. Instead, they are round, strong, covered with warts, and vary in size. Some are as small as a walnut, and some are as big as a fist. There are more than 100 different types of truffles growing all over the world, but you will find one of 10 types of truffles in food. The most common of these are "white truffle", a very smelly Italian truffle, and "black truffle" from France. Each truffle has its own unique flavor, which depends on the weather during its growth, the type of roots it grows on, and the bacteria in it. However, in general, you can expect a strong earthy smell (and smell), which is more like perfume than spice.
