Capers are the flower bud of a bush native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. Once harvested, the buds are sun-dried and then pickled in vinegar.
While capers range in size, the petite nonpareil variety from southern France is considered the finest.
The pungent briny flavor of capers is a delicious accompaniment to sauces and condiments as well as fish dishes.
