Where Do Capers Come From?

Question

Like how are they grown?

Answer 1

a caper is the bud of a schrub that grows in the mediterranean (sp?) region.  It is picked and pickled.  I don't know if they can be grown in the U.S. or what the name of the schrub is - I just love to cook with them.

Answer 2

Capers are unripened flower buds of a prickly perennial plant native to the Mediterranean.   They are dried and pickled, similar to green olives.  Commonly used in salads, dressings and vegetables.  I don't think you can grow them here.

Answer 3

It is a small seed off a plant that comes from the Mediterranean area.

It appears that it can be grown outside of that area if my source is indeed correct.

Answer 4

They are grown in this mysterious substance called "soil"
