Ever heard of truffles?
No, I don’t mean the chocolates, although they are pretty scrumptious themselves.
No, I’m referring to the fungus that grows one to three feet underground, on the roots of certain trees.
The mushroom has a unique pungent taste that makwes it a very sought-after delicacy.
In fact, it goes for about $3200 a pound!
So, how do you go about finding truffles, which grow wild all over the world?
The best way is with a trained pig. Really!
The pig uses its sensitive sense of smell to locate the truffles buried deeply below.
But you can find them in gourmet supermarkets if you shop around.
Today’s FamilyFirst pick guides you through selecting high-quality truffles and using them in your dishes.
For example, NEVER cook a white truffle. Instead, shave it to delicately coat your dish.
