The caper is the edible, immature bud and fruit of a spiny shrub, indigenous to the Mediterranean. Usage of the caper dates back to 3,000 B.C..
Capers are classified into six groups, based on size, with the smallest considered the most sought-after: Non-pareil, surfines, caucines, capotes, fines, and grusas. Capers are typically pickled in salt and vinegar and have a similar flavor profile to a green olive. They are a common ingredient in Italian and Sicilian cooking.
In ancient Greece, capers were used to treat cramps associated with flatulence.
