Truffles may seem inconspicuous, but they fascinate Europeans.
Europeans rank it with caviar and foie gras as one of the "three delicacies in the world", and it is also recognized worldwide as a luxurious delicacy in the food industry.
Truffles have a special smell and are rich in nutrients such as protein and amino acids.
Truffles have extremely strict requirements on the growing environment and cannot be cultivated artificially. The yield is rare, which makes them rare and expensive.
When truffles matured in large quantities and were on the market, who would have thought that they could be purchased at any time in ordinary vegetable markets in Huidong County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan.
Huidong truffle, also known as Chinese truffle.
In Huidong, it is commonly known as pig arch mushroom, Wu Niang vine, and Wu Niang fruit. It is loved by the public for its unique taste, rich and extremely high nutritional value.
November every year is the season when Huidong Chinese truffles mature and are on the market. Fresh and dried products are sold all over the country.
Truffles are a world-class rare resource. They have been developed and used in Europe for more than 2,000 years and were discovered relatively late in China.
In 1989, Chinese scientists (Tao Kai of Shanxi University and others) announced to the world that Chinese truffles were discovered in Huidong County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province.
Modern scientific research has found that truffles contain a variety of proteins, 18 kinds of amino acids (including 8 essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize), unsaturated fatty acids, multiple vitamins, zinc, manganese, iron, calcium, phosphorus, selenium and other essential trace amounts
Elements with extremely high nutritional value.
As well as a large number of metabolites such as sphingolipids, cerebrosides, ceramides, triterpenes, androsterone, adenosine, truffle acid, sterols, truffle polysaccharides, truffle polypeptides, etc.
According to research reports, fungal polysaccharides, polypeptides, and triterpenes have immune-enhancing, anti-aging, and anti-fatigue effects.
Androsterone has a significant effect in regulating the endocrine system of men and women.
Sphingolipid compounds have obvious activities in preventing Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, anti-tumor, and anti-cytotoxicity.
