The difference between black truffles and white truffles

1, black truffles and white truffles have different appearances.

White truffle is a wild plant fungus, similar to Pleurotus ostreatus and Boletus. Because of its preciousness, it is called white diamond. White truffle fungus is the seasoning of food, so it should be eaten raw, not cooked, because the most useful thing is the sweetness of white truffle fungus, just like the rich fragrance of garlic, which will taste bad in case of fire. The color is slightly golden yellow, light brown (beige) or light brown, with brown or milky white spots or fine texture. They come in different sizes, ranging from the size of a golf ball to the size of an apple.

Black truffle, also known as truffle, is a kind of wild edible fungus that grows underground. Its appearance is uneven, its color is between dark brown and black, and it is small and convex, covered with gray or light black and white textures. Its smell is so special that it is hard to describe.

2. The growing environment of black truffle and white truffle is different.

White truffles like alkaline calcareous soil, which is loose and easy to drain and breathe. Rain is needed in the summer growing season, but a little water is needed, but not too much. It is also afraid of the big and long rain in spring. Because truffles can't make carbohydrates for their growth by photosynthesis, they must live with the roots of oak trees and use the roots of oak trees to absorb nutrients. Therefore, the growth range of truffles is generally between trees.

However, black truffles are very picky about the growing environment, and they can't grow as long as the sun, water or soil pH changes slightly. It is the only delicious food in the world that can't be planted in an orderly way. Truffles grow under one tree, but another tree that looks exactly the same can't. People still don't know why.

There is a difference between white truffle and black truffle.

The taste and smell of white truffles are described as unique in the world. Truffles cannot be heated or chewed. It's more like a spice. Cut it into extremely thin slices with a professional knife and eat it now. Every time you sprinkle some bread crumbs on ordinary dishes, it will have earth-shaking effects.

The gasoline smell of black truffles is mixed with the smell of garlic and rotten eggs, and of course the smell of fermented leaves in some forest wetlands is mixed with a hint of yeast and honey. What's that smell? Everyone has a different conclusion.
