Capparis spinosa (Capparis spinosa)

Other names: Capres, Capers, Caperberry, Flinders Rose

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


The thorny caper, also known as Capres, Capers, Caperberry or Flinders Rose, is an evergreen shrub that reaches a height of 1 to 2 metres. It is native to the Mediterranean region and its flowers turn into spherical fruits with soft fleshy pericarp. This plant is known for its edible buds and fruits, which are popular in the cuisine of many countries.

Caper buds are harvested before opening and then preserved in salt or vinegar. Before eating, capers should be rinsed to remove excess salt or vinegar. The fruits of this plant, known as caperberries, are also preserved and used as a culinary ingredient. Capers are excellent in salads, on pizza or pasta, in sauces and as an addition to meat dishes. They have a sharp, salty, unique flavour that is sometimes described as a combination of lemon and olive. Another important product is caper oil, which is made from the seeds of these plants. Due to its medicinal properties, it is often used in the cosmetic industry.
