About Capers
Capers are small flower buds derived from the Mediterranean caper bush, known for their tangy, salty flavor. Commonly used in Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern cuisines, they add a burst of flavor to dishes like pasta, salads, and sauces. Capers are typically pickled or packed in brine, giving them their characteristic zing. Nutritionally, capers are low in calories and fat while containing small amounts of vitamins A, K, and essential minerals such as iron and magnesium. They also boast antioxidant properties, including compounds like flavonoids and rutin, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. However, due to their high sodium content from the pickling process, capers should be consumed in moderation, especially by individuals monitoring their salt intake. Capers offer a flavorful way to enhance meals while providing some nutritional benefits as part of a balanced diet.
