Now that we have found the truffle flavored condiment that's right for us, we need to understand how to include it in our dishes and recipes. Although its taste is delicate, it is actually very versatile and can accompany both first and second courses, for example:

  • it is perfect on meat and fish tartare in order to give an extra edge to a very simple, but also very tasty dish;
  • it is excellent on pizzas in order to emphasize the autumnal and woody flavor of the dish;
  • raw on pasta or risotto it will enhance the flavor of the sauce giving the dish a refined and decisive flavour.

 

TRUFFLE AND HEALTH
The truffle, in addition to being a precious ingredient to be included in dishes, is a very healthy food as it does not contain cholesterol and is rich in vitamins, low in fat and promotes digestion. Furthermore, truffle is an excellent source of:

  • Antioxidants and mineral salts, useful for fighting aging and counteracting free radicals;
  • Magnesium and potassium, ideal for those suffering from cardiovascular problems, as it regulates the heart rhythm and the functionality of nerves and muscles, as well as keeping the nervous system healthy;
  • Calcium, helps keep bones and teeth healthy. A rich source of calcium is excellent for preventing diseases such as osteoporosis;
  • Iron and phosphorus, which contribute to normal energy metabolism as well as the normal functioning of cell membranes;
  • Fibres, which help prevent colon cancer and keep the intestine healthy and regular.

 

Finally, truffle is also good for our mood as it contains anandamide, a molecule that improves mood. The truffle in nature uses this molecule to attract animals who, smelling its scent, dig it up and spread its spores, but anandamide has beneficial effects on humans since it shares the same principle as THC: anandamide acts in areas of the brain where memory, motivation, higher cognitive processes and movement control are managed. In this way, this molecule acts simultaneously on both the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for emotions, decreasing anxiety levels and promoting greater emotional stability .
