Nutrition

Tuber magnatum is considered to be really healthy for humans. This fungi is filled with nutrients such as proteins  and full of amino acids. It gets the nutrients from the symbiotic relationship it has with specific trees. Because the fungi helps the plant ( in this case a tree) to tolerate with the environment, in return the plant gives the fungi nutrients. This fungi is rich with nutrients and aromas, white truffle is known for its full flavoured aroma, n the picture below you can see the human smelling the truffle.
