About Alcaparras
Alcaparras, commonly known as capers, are small, tangy flower buds harvested from the caper bush, native to the Mediterranean region. A staple in Mediterranean cuisine, capers add a burst of flavor to dishes like pasta, salads, and sauces, pairing perfectly with fish, poultry, or acidic ingredients like lemon and vinegar. Nutritionally, capers are low in calories while offering a modest dose of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like vitamin K. They are particularly rich in quercetin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. However, capers are typically preserved in brine or salt, making their sodium content quite high, which can be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. When used in moderation, capers are an excellent way to enhance flavor without adding extra fats or sugars, fitting well into balanced diets emphasizing whole, nutrient-dense foods.
