About Caper
Capers are small, briny flower buds harvested from the caper bush (Capparis spinosa), native to regions around the Mediterranean. Known for their sharp, tangy flavor, capers are a staple in Mediterranean, Italian, and Middle Eastern cuisine, commonly used to enhance dishes like pasta, salads, sauces, and seafood. Nutritionally, capers are low in calories and fat, rich in antioxidants, and provide small amounts of vitamins such as vitamin K and minerals like iron and magnesium. They also contain flavonoids and polyphenols, compounds that may support anti-inflammatory and heart health benefits. However, capers are typically preserved in salt or vinegar, making them high in sodium—a factor to be mindful of for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Their bold taste makes them a flavorful addition to meals while contributing modest nutritional benefits.
