A Caper (Capparis spinosa) is a flower bud of the caper shrub from the Mediterranean region. It is often pickled or salted and used as a seasoning or garnish. Capers are a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. The grown fruit of the caper shrub is also available, prepared similarly to the buds, as caper berries.
