Capparis spinosa, commonly known as the caper bush, 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 plant produces large, white to pink flowers and green, round buds that are harvested for culinary use. The buds of Capparis spinosa are pickled and used as a condiment, adding a tangy flavor to various dishes. They are rich in antioxidants and have been used in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits. The caper bush is also valued for its ability to thrive in arid conditions.
