The Mediterranean diet is considered to be one of the healthiest diets in the world, because it contains an abundance of fruits, vegetables and healthy oils. As capers originate from the Mediterranean, it comes as no surprise that they are mainstays in this particular cuisine.10

 

While capers are small, these flower buds are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that may help you reach your body’s daily requirements. They are also rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids and tocopherols, which play an important role in regulating cellular enzyme function, inflammatory responses and other important body functions.11,12 Some of the characteristics of capers you might benefit from include:

 

Diuretic and antihypertensive — A 2007 animal study from the American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology showed that Capparis spinosa extracts increased sodium and potassium excretion, leading to lowered blood pressure.13

Anti-inflammatory — Two studies from BioMed Central show that capers contain compounds that can suppress interleukin-17 and promote interleukin-4 expression, which are important factors in easing or stopping inflammation from occurring.14,15 They also contain chondroprotective properties that may rival indomethacin, a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) typically prescribed for pain and swelling.16

Antidiabetic — In a 2017 animal study from the Avicenna Journal of Phytomedicine, researchers found that the aqueous extract of the Capparis spinosa plant contains antihyperglycemic properties, which may positively impact diabetes patients by regulating glucose production and restoring insulin sensitivity.17
