| Safety Rating | N/A |
| Evidence Level | N/A |
Capers are the tender, immature flower buds of the caper bush (Capparis spinosa). They are used to reduce inflammation, support wound healing, soothe digestive discomfort, and add a salty, tangy flavor to foods. Consumers should be aware that capers can irritate the stomach for some people, raise sodium and potassium intake when used in excess, and may interact with blood‑thinning medicines, so use them cautiously if you have kidney problems or are on anticoagulants.
