Summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) is a highly prized edible fungus native to Mediterranean regions and parts of Europe. Known for its milder flavor compared to its winter counterpart, it offers earthy and nutty notes that enhance dishes in French, Italian, and other European cuisines. Low in calories and fat-free, summer truffles are rich in minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which support bone health and proper muscle function. They contain antioxidants that aid in reducing inflammation and fighting free radicals in the body. However, truffles are typically paired with rich, indulgent ingredients such as cream, butter, and cheese, which can add significant calories to dishes they feature in. Summer truffles are enjoyed raw, shaved delicately over pasta, risotto, or eggs, letting their aroma and subtle taste elevate the meal. Their unique culinary and nutritional profile makes them both a luxury and a wholesome ingredient.
