About IMPORTED CAPERS
Kroger Private Selection Imported Capers are a premium condiment under The Kroger Co.'s specialty-tier Private Selection brand, sourced internationally and packed in a classic brine. The ingredient list is exceptionally clean: capers, water, distilled white vinegar, and salt — nothing more. Capers are the immature flower buds of the Capparis spinosa plant, a Mediterranean shrub, harvested by hand and traditionally preserved in brine or salt. The vinegar brine in this product provides tartness and acts as a natural preservative. The "imported" designation suggests European sourcing, most likely from Italy, Spain, or France, where capers of varying grades (from tiny nonpareilles to larger capotes and capucines) are cultivated.
Nutritionally, capers are very low in calories at 36 per 100 g, with 7 g carbohydrates, negligible fat, and no protein. However, the sodium content from the brine is the primary dietary consideration for those monitoring salt intake. The product is free from dairy, gluten, soy, nuts, and eggs, making it one of the most allergen-safe condiments available. Capers add a pungent, briny, slightly floral flavor to dishes and are traditional in Mediterranean cooking — classic in chicken piccata, pasta puttanesca, smoked salmon presentations, and as a garnish for tartare and deviled eggs. Rinsing before use reduces the sodium content significantly.
