Capers are one of those ingredients you see a lot but may not fully understand. They're commonplace across many cuisines, mostly to Greek Mediterranean dishes and they lend a salty, pungent and vinegary punch to recipes.

The taste is slightly astringent and pungent, and they can lend piquancy to many sauces and condiments; they can also be used as a garnish for meat and vegetable dishes.

Capers are pickles made from the unopened flower buds of the caper shrub (Capparis spinthe (closely related to the cabbage family), a wild and cultivated bush that is grown mainly in Greece and other Mediterranean countries. Harvesting capers is an arduous process because they can only be picked by hand. They're too small and delicate to be plucked by machine, so they're harvested individually.

If you want to add some salty flavor to your dishes, try using capers. They're perfect for topping for fish, chicken or meat, and you can also use capers in a sauce, salad or on pizza. You can try a caper tapenade or pesto to serve on a crostini, or serve caper berries mixed with other brined and pickled vegetables for an antipasti platter.
