So I go to this Cuban restaurant called Babaloos for a business meeting. They put out these caper berries. At first I looked at them, like “why would I eat capers straight up”? But………I tried them. First they are addicting, and very very good! I could not stop eating them. I finished the whole bowl in front of business partners and had to ask for more……I was surprised that my stomach did not hurt the next day, I must have eaten 30 at least!

So what am I talking about?

Caper berries are fruits of the caper plant, which is popular for its salted or pickled buds, commonly known as capers. Read on for more information about the fruit. he word ‘caper’ is generally used to denote the salted or pickled bud of the caper plant (Capparis spinosa), which is generally used for culinary purposes. Capers are used mainly for seasoning and garnishing, and is an important ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. It has a sharp, piquant, salty taste with a pungent aroma. The fruits of the caper plant are called caper berries and are pickled without detaching the stem. Caper berries also taste like capers, but some find it stronger to capers, while some find it milder.

The caper plant was used for medicinal purposes by ancient Greeks and Romans. Ancient Greeks used the roots and shoots of the plant for making herbal tea, which was used for treating rheumatism.
