Caper berries are the edible fruit of the caper plant, scientifically known as Capparis spinosa. They are typically oval-shaped, green, and can grow up to an inch long. Often confused with caper buds, which are pickled and used as a condiment, caper berries have a milder flavor and are usually brined or pickled before consumption. These berries are commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine, adding a tangy taste to dishes like salads, pasta, and sauces. They are also rich in antioxidants and can provide health benefits, making them a popular choice for those looking to enhance their meals with unique flavors.
