May Help Kill Cancer Cells

Though data is presently restricted to in vitro investigations, some study indicates that truffles may have potent anticancer capabilities. One test-tube research, for example, found that chemicals isolated from various types of truffles inhibited the development of malignant cells in the liver, lung, colon, and breast. In another test-tube investigation, extracts from both black and white species were found to have anticancer effects on cervical, breast, and colon cancer cells. However, further research is needed to determine how truffles may affect cancer development in humans when consumed rather than in concentrated extract form.

Once considered an expensive delicacy reserved for gourmet recipes, there are now several ways to incorporate truffles into your diet without breaking the budget. Black truffles are one of the most popular sorts and are significantly more inexpensive than other types, such as the white variant, and are widely accessible at specialized markets and online shops. While each ounce (28 grams) is expensive, it only takes a tiny bit to change your cuisine. Toss a few shavings over salads, soups, or main meals for a tasty, aroma-packed garnish.
