CAPERS: WHAT ARE THEY?

The Sicilian Capers of Salina do not come from a tree, but a simple shrub , and they are not fruits but flowers, that is, buds that are still open. The plant, always green in colour, rather small, grows in the form of a bush, between the cracks in the walls, between the cracks in the rocks and in the barren earth. It doesn't need water, and loves calcareous and dry soils. The original name of the shrub is Capperis spinosa , a plant native to Greece and Asia Minor, typical of the Mediterranean basin.
