Capers are an excellent product rich in polyphenols, which protect the body from cardiovascular diseases and are particularly valued in the treatment of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, capers provide vitamins A, C, and E, which act as potent antioxidants, protecting the body from free radicals. Therefore, capers should be included in the diets of athletes, individuals at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Capers also contain vitamin E, which is a natural means of rejuvenating the body, and vitamin A, which helps maintain the moisture of the mucous membrane. The high vitamin C content in capers increases the body's natural resistance, thereby shortening the duration of illness. In the Mediterranean region, freshly pressed capers juice is often used for the treatment of hypothyroidism, due to its high iodine content. Capers also have a positive impact on digestion, reducing bloating and digestive disorders, and supporting liver function. In folk medicine, capers are recommended for men suffering from impotence, as they are considered an effective aphrodisiac. A decoction of the roots and leaves of the caper bush is used in the treatment of anemia and rheumatism, due to its high iron content and alkaline potential.

A hundred grams of capers supply roughly 23 kilocalories, comprising 5 grams of carbs, 2.5 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat.

Capers are an essential component in numerous dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, particularly French and Italian. They are added to dishes that lack distinctiveness. They function exceptionally well as an accompaniment to fresh vegetable salads, potato or herring salads. They pair excellently with cheese, sauces for pasta, meat and fish, as well as eggs. They can also be employed in meat fillings for patties or as a flavoring addition to one-pot dishes.
