La pianta del cappero cresce spontaneamente in tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo. Nell'arcipelago delle Isole Eolie viene coltivato da tempo immemore, trovando in questo contesto particolare vigore ed eccezionale vitalità, grazie alla particolarità del suolo vulcanico e alle condizioni climatiche nettamente favorevoli: ventosità media, scarsissima umidità. Si tratta di una pianta arborea cespugliosa ermafrodita con produzione a scalare: mano a mano che i germogli crescono si formano i boccioli, che costituiscono quelli che noi chiamiamo “capperi”. Entro il quattordicesimo giorno dalla sua formazione il bocciolo fiorisce. Il fiore del cappero è un fiore di rara bellezza. Detto anche “l'orchidea del mediterraneo” Il cappero, dunque, non è altro che il bocciolo della pianta. Quando il bocciolo è sfiorito, resta il cosiddetto gineceo ovvero l'ovaloide che contiene i semi. Si tratta di una sorta di piccola bacca (come lo è quella della rosa canina, ad esempio) che viene chiamata e consumata come cucuncio. Tra i muri, o tra vecchi ruderi non è affatto difficile vedere penzolare tra le crepe una pianta di cappero costellata, tra giugno e settembre, di fiori simili a stelle cadenti bianco-viola. Ma non sempre è possibile assistere a questo straordinario spettacolo. Una leggenda narra, infatti, che una divinità era così invidiosa della bellezza dei fiori della pianta del cappero, che rese i suoi boccioli “saporiti” e ne fece dono agli uomini; e fu così che si cominciò a fare a meno della bellezza della fioritura del cappero, per poter mangiare il suo bocciolo, quell'invitante bottoncino verde utilizzato in tantissime ricette. -------Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.
