Capers in Salt 106ml Masiello

Capers are small, round, and green flower buds that are commonly used as a seasoning or garnish in various culinary dishes. They have a tangy and salty flavor, which adds a unique taste to many recipes.

Originating from the Mediterranean region, capers are widely used in Italian, French, and Mediterranean cuisines. They are often found in dishes such as pasta, salads, sauces, and seafood preparations.

These tiny buds are typically pickled in vinegar or salt to enhance their flavor and preserve them for longer periods. The pickling process also helps to mellow their sharp taste.

Capers are graded based on their size, with the smallest being the most desirable. The smaller the caper, the more delicate and intense its flavor. The larger ones tend to have a milder taste.

When using capers in recipes, it is common to rinse them before adding to remove any excess salt or brine. This helps to balance their flavor and prevent dishes from becoming too salty.

Due to their strong flavor, capers are often used sparingly as a seasoning. They can be added to sauces like tartar sauce or remoulade, sprinkled over grilled fish or roasted vegetables, or incorporated into pasta dishes for an extra burst of flavor.

In addition to their culinary uses, capers are also believed to have some health benefits. They are a good source of antioxidants and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
