    Capers are flower buds, and are harvested in April before they bloom. They are pickled in salt vinegar, and usually sold in a small jar. Capers are a distinctive feature of Maltese cuisine, and many housewives on the islands harvest and pickle their own.

    It's great with pasta and salad!

    What To Buy: The one I purchased came with sun-dried tomatoes, capers, olives, Maltese cheese, all in a small jar filled with olive oil.

    What To Pay: from Lm 1.50 and up
