About Salted capers
Salted capers are the preserved buds of the caper plant, native to Mediterranean cuisine. Typically harvested by hand, these tiny buds are packed with a robust tangy flavor, making them a staple in dishes like pasta, salads, and sauces. The curing process involves salting or brining, giving them their signature bold taste. Low in calories, capers are an excellent source of antioxidants, including flavonoids like rutin and quercetin, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation. They also provide essential minerals like sodium, iron, and magnesium. However, their high sodium content might be a concern for those managing blood pressure or watching salt intake. To reduce salt, soak or rinse them before use. With their unique flavor and nutritional perks, salted capers enhance both taste and texture in countless culinary creations.
