40 Delicious Black Truffle Recipes You’ll Love

Black Truffle Recipes

We know what you’re thinking: black truffles? That’s a bit fancy.

While it’s true that the ingredient has gained mass popularity over the years in fine cuisine, you may be surprised by just how good truffles actually are for you.

Not to be confused with the chocolate variety, these truffles (whose varieties include black truffles, white truffles, summer truffles, garlic truffles, and more) are a type of fungus which grow near the roots of certain trees.

Despite their unique taste and expensive price tag, truffles are also incredibly good for you. They contain many important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, phosphorus, sodium, calcium, magnesium, manganese and iron.

Studies also indicate that truffles may be a complete source of protein, providing all nine essential amino acids your body needs 

As you’d imagine, truffles offer a wide range of impressive health benefits, including:

  • Lowering cholesterol
  • Controlling blood sugar
  • Protecting your liver from damage
  • Reducing inflammation throughout your body
  • Fighting bacterial infections
  • Helping prevent cancer
