STAFF REPORT - The Tifton Gazette is reporting a surprising new delicacy that could become big business in South Georgia - truffles. Long one of fine dining's apex delicacies, the truffle is a fungus that is found just below the ground in forests throughout Europe. Now, a Tifton researcher has helped identify a local truffle that could open up a new domestic delicacy. Sometimes referred to as a Pecan Truffle, because it often appears in pecan orchards, these newly identified truffles had routinely been thrown away by South Georgia pecan harvesters as a nuisance!
