Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Megan Milligan [yasminduran] Tuesday, June 28, 2005 7:10 PM [Raw Food] are capers raw? I love capers and was wondering if they're considered raw since they're pickled. I wanted to post a recipe to the list that I just came up with. It's vegan. I'm just not sure if the capers would disqualify it from being raw. Megan _____ I used to love capers, too. Capers are made from the hand-picked,sun-dried, unopened flower buds of the caper plant. Caper plants are small shrubs about 3 feet tall and native to the Mediterranean area. The flower buds are pickled in a brine of vinegar, salt, and water. So although they are raw, they are not on my list of healthful things to eat, both because of the vinegar (pure acetic acid diluted in water) and the salt.
