By Syndicated Content By Ahmed Saeed and Alaa al-Marjani SAMAWA DESERT, Iraq (Reuters) - Here it is, the truffle, a blessing from God! Zahra Buheir carefully digs out a desert truffle from the sandy earth and shows it off between her calloused fingers. Rain came, and then thunder, bringing truffles up to the surface, the 72-year-old said. Braving the harsh weather of Iraq s southern desert, as well as left-behind land mines, Buheir and her family of seven have spent weeks hunting for the seasonal truffles that have provided them with an income for generations. Fetching its hunters up to $7 a kilo this year, Iraq s desert truffle is cheaper than its rarer European cousins that can cost hundreds of dollars or more a kilo.
