KUWAIT, March 19 (KUNA) -- As winter sets in and extends into early spring, Kuwaitis eagerly seek out faqaa (desert truffle), a prized seasonal fungus known for its unique taste and rich flavor.
The Kuwaiti variety, in particular, is highly valued, with different types varying in shape, color, and size, among them, Zubaidi is the most sought-after due to its large size, white color, and irregularly rounded shape, followed by Khalasi, Jabi, and Hober, the smallest of the varieties.
For many, the truffle season is an opportunity to venture into the desert after thunderstorms and rainfall, which create ideal conditions for truffle growth.
Typically lasting about two months, truffle season sees enthusiasts scanning the sandy or clay-rich terrain for telltale cracks and soil lumps-signs of truffles maturing underground, and once harvested, the truffles are either consumed or sold in the market, where they fetch high prices due to their rarity and culinary appeal.
