How much is truffle per jin? A detailed explanation of its benefits, effects, and taste
Truffle is a collective name for several edible species of the phylum Ascomycota, and like mushrooms and reishi mushrooms, they are all fungi. Several of them belong to the genus Tuber (scientific name: Tuber), with about 10 different varieties. Truffles mostly grow with mycelial threads attached to the roots of broadleaf trees, spread within a 120-150 cm radius around the base of the tree, with the lump-shaped main body hidden 5-40 cm underground. Truffles are mycorrhizal fungi, so they are usually easily found in positions closely associated with tree roots.
Benefits of truffle: it promotes the suppression of malignant cells by benign cells, and its effects in enhancing resistance, immunity, and anti-aging are more than 12 times those of reishi mushroom, ginseng, and cordyceps, and it can effectively promote beauty and skin care. In terms of price, it is relatively expensive, generally between 200 and 500 yuan.
The smell of truffle is quite special, a mixture of gasoline, garlic, and nutty notes. If smelled on its own, it is not a pleasant scent.
