Health Benefits of Black Truffle Salt

Black truffle salt comes from a black, purple, or brown fungus which has been called the most prized mushroom in the world. This fungus is found in both the hot and cold regions of Europe and Asia. It grows in rocks in cavities under the earth's surface, on the sides of cacti, and is known to grow in soil. It is an extremely popular herb for use in cooking and also has therapeutic properties.

A truffle is a fruiting body from subterranean ascomycete fungi, mostly one of the more commonly known species in the genus Tuber. Other genera include Geopora, Pezira, Choiromyces, and others. These fungi are also classified under other names such as "the salt of the Earth", "cottonwood" "the queen of mushrooms".

Truffles were first described by an Italian monk in the thirteenth century. These fungi have been used to treat various ailments and are now consumed throughout the world. The herb is made into a variety of dishes including candies, pastes, drinks, and desserts.

There are several types of truffles available today. They are made from different fungi, each with its own characteristic taste. Some of them are:

Truffle is the most highly sought after variety of truffles and the most expensive ones. These are said to be harvested from the same type of fungus that produces the black truffle, hence the name.

Crusted truffles also known as "pizzelle" are considered to be slightly lower in price than the standard varieties. They have a smooth outer coating with a dark brown or black color. They are said to have a pleasant nutty flavor and are good for baking.

Black truffled this is the cheapest type of truffles and is harvested from a fungus known as Geotrichum and is usually made into candies candied mushrooms. These tend to be drier than the ones made from Geopora and are more commonly used for baking and salads.

Black truffle salt is a great add-on ingredient in dishes that call for more flavor like soups, stews, cheeses, vegetable recipes, and chocolate desserts. Also, it can be used in place of traditional salt in meat dishes, especially red meat, such as sausage.

If you wish to use this salt in your cooking, there are a couple of methods for achieving this. For example, if you are using a dehydrator you can just put the mushrooms into it for a few hours and then throw the tray into the oven, just leave it for the rest of the time needed for the truffles to dry.

If you do not want to wait for it to dry, then you can buy a salt and pepper shaker which you can set on low heat and slowly pour your salt into the truffles without disturbing them.

When they are done you simply squeeze the black truffle salt with a squeegee and they will crackle. You can keep the crackling as you would other types of mushrooms.

You can also store truffles in airtight containers for later use. The last thing you need is to find that a big batch of them is in the kitchen and your guests are not impressed by it.

Truffles are full of nutrients and some studies have found that they have antioxidants that help fight off cancer. Truffles can also help your digestive system and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Another good way of using the salt is by marinating meats in it. It is very easy to do and you can find plenty of recipes online to try. I have a simple recipe for beef stew that you can try with some sliced truffles to give it a bit of flavor.

The health benefits for using truffles are well documented but you do not need a doctor's prescription for it. Most supermarkets sell them in a variety of flavors. However, the most popular is white truffles which contain more calcium than the other colors. You can also make your own by grinding fresh mushrooms and adding garlic, olive oil, salt, and basil.
