Description
Capers in brine are small, greenish flower buds of the caper bush with a distinct, tangy-salty flavor, a delicate floral note, and a firm, slightly meaty texture. They resemble small balls or halves with a darker green color and a mottled skin, which release an intense aroma after draining. Nutritionally, capers are low in calories, providing small amounts of fiber, vitamin K, and minerals such as iron and calcium, as well as flavonoids with antioxidant properties. The main concern is their high sodium content due to the brine, so individuals on a low-sodium diet should rinse them before use. Capers pair excellently with fish and seafood dishes, sauces (e.g., piccata), salads, spreads, pizza, and marinades, where they add acidity and depth of flavor. Once the jar is opened, capers should be stored in a cool place, preferably in the refrigerator, fully submerged in brine, and used within a few months, using clean utensils to maintain freshness.
