I live in Sun City and have four Caper plants. Two are three year olds and two are one year olds. This is the first year I have had enough capers and berries to brine. I am trying some with white wine vinegar and some with apple cider vinegar. I am also trying some with just salt and some in just salted water. I am experimenting with both berries and buds.
It is great to experiment! I am sure they will all turn out excellent. I find the vinegar/water/salt solution to be the least amount of effort and no fail. But I think I will try the salt or salt water method when I know I won't be traveling as much. You can also pickle the young leaves!
Thank you, I have a bunch to pickle and didn’t know how. This video was very informative. I also didn’t know they got hard seeds. I definitely left mine on the plant too long but I’m going to try anyways!
Great video, I have 2 plants that are flowering now and producing berries so I will use your recipe to start pickling them as they come through. Both plants are growing in homemade wicking pots, I use a hydroponic nutrient to feed them (as I also grow hydroponically)and the love the constant supply of wick moisture and good nutrient. I'm wondering if they could be cloned, Im interested in doing some experiments using cloning balls to build up my crop. Thanks again,😀
Thank you for sharing your growing method! Yes, they can be vegetatively cloned! I believe you can also clone from the root. Hopefully you give it a try!
In My country Iran They Grow Everywhere In the Wall in The Roof or In the Middle of The Road Because Of This We Call This Plant "Stupid Watermelon" Their Fresh Fruits Have Red Meat with Black Seeds like Watermelon, When i was Child We Used Their Flowers As a Pen you can Write Something With Their Flower's!!! 😅 This Plant Exist In Whole of Middle East And Mediterranean Area's of the Europe
They are not edible without processing using similar methods to what I have shown in the video. Kind of like olives. When they are fully ripe and the seed pod open, the seeds inside will be too hard to consume.
I think if you use plain drinking water, it is ok, but I would recommend leaving the drinking water overnight to air out the chlorine so it does not affect the taste of the solution.
Very handy- Just got some caper berries from farmers market ! Had heard can grow a new plant from 1 leaf, have you tried that? That leaves are edible, but guessing need processing as do buds and berries with removing bitternes. Remember loving them as a child (Mom said were expensive so couldnt put as much as wanted to on food like baked potatoes).
Sorry for the delay on responding. The grower I purchased the original plant from did grow these plants from seeds. It has to be very fresh seeds to have good success.

So glad that I was able to share the info I have learned with you. Thank you so much for watching!
Excellent instructions thank you❤

Great video 👍🏼 How cold do your temperatures get in Winter that the plants die back?
So sorry for my delay on responding! We regularly get down to 28 degrees at night in the winter.

What do the caper berries look like when they're ripe? Are they edible fully ripe?
They are not edible without processing using similar methods to what I have shown in the video. Kind of like olives. When they are fully ripe and the seed pod open, the seeds inside will be too hard to consume.
Can we use non-distilled water? just plain drinking water?
I think if you use plain drinking water, it is ok, but I would recommend leaving the drinking water overnight to air out the chlorine so it does not affect the taste of the solution.

Did you grow these from seed?

Hi, you're letting them grow a little too big, you can pick them up a week earlier. That's when they have the highest myercetin content.
Oh! Good tip. I did not know they should be harvested sooner. Thanks!
@@EpicYardFarm yes, they should be ⅛ the size of what you're plucking them at ! That when they're loaded with most phytonutrients.
Come onstop talking and tell ingredient please im waiting
