Native to the African, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean regions, capers are unripened, green flower buds of the Capparis spinosa bush. This flagship product features capers cured in a brine making it the perfect blend of sour and salty with a tangy kick.
You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.
Use them in small amounts to add sharpness and salt to a dish, either scattered over salads, vegetables, or grain bowls, or stirred into sauces and dressings. They also work well with fish, on toast with butter or cheese, or mixed into dips where their briny flavour can come through clearly. It helps to rinse them lightly before using, depending on how much saltiness you want.
The growing conditions in Niravi Pudhupatti— black soil, high temperatures, and faster processing time periods—allow these capers to retain their bold, peppery flavour.
Ishka Farms, India’s only caper farm, primarily grows capers—a crop that isn’t native to India. Their decision to cultivate capers—which require little water—reflects their intention to transform barren land in Tamil Nadu into a lush green farm. They work with farmers, scientists, and industry experts to take great care of the arid soil and are conscious of their groundwater use.
