High-end ingredients include matsutake mushrooms, Tibetan spiced pig, oyster roe, wild kudzu rice, butter crab, saffron, white truffle, Iberian ham, blue lobster, and sturgeon caviar.
Among them, Tibetan spiced pig is the best among pigs, and its nutrition is a bit higher than any other pig. For example, its amino acids and trace elements are the highest among other pig breeds, while its fat content is the lowest, and it has the thinnest skin and the longest intestines and sideburns. Tibetan aromatic pig is a grazing type of pig species, mainly growing in the mountains, drinking spring water, eating ginseng, meat is very tasty, the number is very rare, the general money is difficult to eat.
The matsutake mushroom is a very valuable wild mushroom, known as the "king of mushrooms", has a high nutritional value, and the flavor is extremely delicious. Matsutake generally like to grow in the dry woodland, parasitic in the roots of trees, mainly in the northeast and Yunnan region is relatively dense, and can not rely on artificial cultivation, so the number is very rare.
Other ingredients
Saffron also belongs to the high-end ingredients, that is, saffron stamens, is the world's most expensive seasoning, 225,000 roots of the stamens after drying only 500 grams. Making a plate of expensive dishes with up to 6 saffron can produce an extremely strong flavor. But saffron stamens forged from the stamens of marigolds don't give off a tantalizing aroma even if you put a lot of them in a dish.
There are also white truffles, which are rarer and therefore more expensive than the black truffles of France and Périgord, and grow only in Italy and northern Croatia. This white truffle is known as the Grand Duke of truffles. The best of the white truffles can only be found in the Piedmont region of Italy, especially near the town of Elma. White truffles only grow from mid-October to the end of December each year. It is very difficult to find them because they grow in the soil near the roots of the tree.
