Capers are renowned for their beneficial properties on the human body. They are extremely low in calories, with only 3 calories per tablespoon, yet they constitute a massive source of antioxidants and vitamins. They are also rich in protein, vitamins A, C, and E, calcium, folic acid, and beneficial fatty acids. They are used in various dishes, and primarily in Mediterranean cuisine.
