"Australian Capers are grown with minimal water on the dry rocky slopes of the River Murray. The tiny unopened flower buds of the Caper plant are picked daily at first light throughout the hottest months of the year.
Now for the first time Australians can enjoy the delicate fruity flavours, the sweet herbal aromas and the fresh firm crunch of locally grown organic Capers packed full of antioxidants and natural health benefits". Jonathon Trewartha
