:wave: Hi Curnow, Capers are the pickled un opens flowers, I have eaten the caper berries (what you got) pickled in the same manner as the flower buds, so they are edible if pickled.

Yeah, made me look that one up, I was thinking that it didn't look like a caper that you eat.... Of course, the buds, not the fruit....

I just ordered a packet of seeds a few days back.
I have had the berries pickled in Spain as a tapas were quite nice with a cold sherry

I had a chomp on one the other day and survived, so I guess it's true. They are edible. I will let them mature fully and save some seed if anyone would like some. :)

Cheers

No worries Simo. I'm not sure how long the caper fruit will be before they are ready but the Jerusalem artichokes have died off so they can be dug any time.

Cheers
Dennis
