About Caper bush
The caper bush (Capparis spinosa) is native to the Mediterranean region and is prized for its small flower buds, known as capers, and fruit called caper berries. Capers are often pickled or brined, lending a tangy, salty flavor to dishes, especially in Italian, Greek, and North African cuisine. Rich in antioxidants like quercetin and rutin, capers boast anti-inflammatory properties and may support heart health. They are low in calories but high in sodium due to the pickling process, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. Capers also pack small amounts of vitamins A, K, and some minerals like iron and calcium. Their bold, zesty profile makes them a flavorful addition to pasta, sauces, salads, and seafood dishes, adding depth without extra calories. The caper bush's versatile byproducts continue to be celebrated globally in both traditional and gourmet cooking.
