What is Capers?

Capers are a bud that grow on a bush that is picked before it flowers. They are tiny and an earthy green tone with a round, or fat oval body that can get up to 7mm in size. Their skin is smooth, or with soft lines. The texture is semi-soft with a very briny, piquant taste and a hint of lemon. Capers are often sold in saltwater brine, though they are tastiest when dry-packed in sea salt. These tiny buds add tremendous flavor to seafood and pasta dishes and, are versatile across a range of cuisines.
