Description: perennial herbaceous

Minimum cultivation temperature: -5 °C.

Balsamic period: March.

Toxicity: low, may cause gastrointestinal disorders.
Do not take Capparis spinosa supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding, always consult a doctor before taking phytotherapeutic preparations based on this plant.

Beneficial properties: diuretic and antirheumatic.

Confirmed activities: food (flower buds and fruits).

Active ingredients: quercitin, rutin, kaempferol and capric acid.

PREPARATIONS

Infusion: prepared with 3 g of root bark per 100 ml of water for diuretic function.

Acetolyte: prepared with 10 g of root bark, macerated for 21 days in 100 ml of solution (45 ml of 96% alcohol, 30 ml of water and 25 ml of vinegar). The filtrate can be stored for 3 years due to its antirheumatic function (topical use).

NOTES

The flower buds are used for food purposes and are preserved in salt.
The fruits are oval berries called capers and are preserved in vinegar.

The caper is one of the few species whose dissemination occurs through lizards that feed on the liquid in which the berries are immersed, the latter remain attached to the body of the reptiles and are transported to their nests, often growing in cracks in the walls.

Descrizione: suffrutice.

Temperatura minima di coltivazione: -5 °C.

Periodo balsamico: marzo.

Tossicità: bassa, può causare disturbi gastrointestinali.
Non assumere integratori di Capparis spinosa in gravidanza e allattamento, consultare sempre un medico prima di assumere preparati fitoterapici a base di questa pianta.

Proprietà benefiche: diuretico e antireumatico.

Attività confermate: alimento (boccioli dei fiori e frutti).

Principi attivi: quercitina, rutina, kaempferolo e acido caprico.

PREPARAZIONI

Infuso: preparato con 3 g di corteccia della radice per 100 ml di acqua per la funzione diuretica.

Acetolito: preparato con 10 g di corteccia della radice, fatta macerare per 21 giorni in 100 ml di soluzione (45 ml di alcol 96°, 30 ml di acqua e 25 ml di aceto). La conservazione del filtrato è pari a 3 anni, per la funzione antireumatica (uso topico).

NOTE

I boccioli del fiore sono utilizzati a scopo alimentare e si conservano sotto sale.
I frutti sono bacche ovali chiamati capperoni e si conservano sotto aceto.

Il cappero è una delle poche specie la cui disseminazione avviene tramite le lucertole che si nutrono del liquido dove sono immerse le bacche, queste ultime restano attaccate al corpo dei rettili e vengono trasportate fino ai loro nidi, crescendo spesso in fessure nei muretti.
