This flagship product is 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.

The growing conditions—the black soil and faster processing time periods—allow these capers to retain a bold, peppery flavour.

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.

Ishka Farms, India’s only organised 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 experts to take great care of the arid soil and are conscious of their groundwater use.
