It has separate male and female plants (dioecious), which means that it can reproduce by itself. Evergreen, from 1 to 5 m high, with a strong smell of resin, it grows in the dry and rocky scrublands in Mediterranean Europe, North Africa and the Near East. It resists heavy frosts and grows on all types of soils, and can grow well in limestone and even salty or saline areas, which makes it more abundant near the sea. Its name comes from its lentil-shaped leaves. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The asparagus plant consists of branched aerial stems and underground parts made up of roots and buds, which are commonly called the \u201cclaw\u201d. The vegetables known as \u201casparagus\u201d are obtained from the young shoots. It flowers from June onwards. Here\u2019s a fun fact: the diuretic properties of Asparagus sp, especially of the roots, are well known. This is due to its high silicon content, among other minerals, glycosides, sugars, amino acids, etc. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It\u2019s remarkably drought-tolerant, so much so that it can go for months without receiving a single drop of water and withstands high summer temperatures very well. It was established in the Iberian Peninsula during the time of the Moorish invasion and the city of Granada was named after it. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Indifferent to the type of soil (calcareous or siliceous); it grows well in stony, sandy and clayey soils, and tolerates those that are moderately saline and also those that are poor in nutrients and organic matter. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It\u2019s a shrub that\u2019s between 40 cm to 1 m high, with whitish leaves because of the hair they have. Cistus albidus is a family of about 170 different species. Cistus albidus is the most common in our region and is named after the Latin \u201calbidus\u201d, which means white, which symbolizes the plant. Historically, some species have been used as a diuretic and anti-hysteric or relaxant. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It\u2019s a thorny plant with canes up to 10 m long, flowering from June to August. It has pink flowers, which are sometimes white at the base of the petals, with five petals and five sepals (the entire Rosaceae family has this flower structure). It\u2019s a very interesting plant due to its resistance to any type of terrain and altitude, in addition to the use of the fruit, the blackberry. It\u2019s highly appreciated for its culinary applications and great for making jams and preserves. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The European badger can live for a long time without eating, as it accumulates large fat reserves in autumn. However, its diet is very varied: from fruits to mice, including roots and tubers. The badger\u2019s acute sense of smell is about 800 times better than humans\u2019. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
