Variations on a Theme: The Bud of the Capparis spinosa, Two Ways. One of our newer offerings, Tears of Caperberries, and our tiniest, Lilliput Capers, together in one tangy bundle. Our Lilliput capers are tiny, tangy, and a top-notch topping for salads, pastas, and of course, bagels and lox. They pack a concentrated punch of flavor that belies their diminutive size. These are the un-ripened flower buds of the Capparis spinosa bush that grows wild across the Mediterranean, picked and preserved in a wine vinegar brine. Left to ripen? They become our newish addition, Tears of Caperberries. Little, green, different. Tears of tangy delight, our Tears of Caperberries will bring a potent zest and delightful crunch to any snacking situation. Perfection alongside a mild cheese, crackers, and of course, tinned seafood.
