@calvinthetrufflefarmer_: We've automated almost everything we eat, but this is the one that beats the machines. The growing side we can work, inoculate the soil, manage the trees, push what the ground gives back. But finding them is where technology falls apart. A ripe truffle sits underground with nothing showing on top, and the only thing that reliably reads which one's ready is a dog's nose. Then it's lifted by hand, carefully, because rush it and you wreck the truffle and the roots feeding next season. One of the most valuable foods on earth, still down to a dog and two hands. If you're keen to grow your own truffles one day, check out the link in bio to learn more. #trufflefarming #truffledog #blacktruffle #trufflefarmer #trufflehunting
