I'm still quite surprised. To put it bluntly, a mushroom can sell at such an expensive price. Good or expensive mushrooms can be sold for tens of thousands at a unit price. I don't think people can reach this level. Black truffles are expensive for three reasons: high nutritional value, scarce quantity and unique style.
First of all, it is nutritional value. It is said that black truffles can nourish the body and strengthen the yang, which is a great tonic. If it is really so nutritious, it is understandable that it is expensive. But it's not a miracle of life and death. Ordinary expensive is acceptable, so outrageous is naturally not worth it. After all, all complementary foods are based on quantity. If you eat this kind of food for a long time, no one can afford it except those rich people.
As the saying goes, things are rare. It can be said that among all tradable items, the less the more expensive. Just like some things, as big as Ferrari sports cars and as small as a pen, there are various commemorative editions and limited editions. Anyway, as long as someone can afford it, it is naturally infinitely less and infinitely expensive. In this era when ginseng can be cultivated artificially, black truffles are still an anomaly and cannot be cultivated artificially on a large scale.
It is said that some families who pick black truffles for a living will pass on a picture from generation to generation with the mark of the place where black truffles grow. Where black truffles grow this year, they will grow next year, but if you destroy the ground, for example, turn it over, then the land will not grow next year. Finally, the style. This is a specialty of western aristocrats. Eating this dish can satisfy the vanity of many people.
