Caper Bush
The Caper Bush (Capparis spinosa) is a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region. It typically grows in rocky, dry areas and can reach heights of about 1 meter. The bush produces large, white to pink flowers and green, round fruit known as capers, which are often used in cooking.
Capers are harvested from the flower buds before they bloom and are usually pickled in vinegar or brine. They add a tangy flavor to various dishes, including salads, sauces, and meats. The Caper Bush is also valued for its ability to thrive in arid conditions, making it a resilient choice for gardens in similar climates.
