Frequently Asked Questions – Caper, Buyers, Sellers & General

What is Caper (Capparis spinosa) and where does it originate?

Caper (Capparis spinosa) is a perennial spiny shrub native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. In India, it grows wild in arid regions like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Uttarakhand. The unopened flower buds are pickled and used as a condiment. Indian capers are smaller, more pungent, and have a higher density than Mediterranean varieties. Botanika Bharat LLP sources capers from Uttarakhand and Rajasthan, ensuring authentic Indian origin with traceability from farm to fork.

What is the botanical name and family of capers?

The botanical name of capers is Capparis spinosa, belonging to the family Capparaceae. It is also known as Flinders rose. The plant produces round, fleshy leaves and large white flowers. The commercial product is the immature flower bud, harvested before blooming. Indian capers are often confused with Capparis decidua (kerda), but Capparis spinosa is the true caper. Botanika Bharat LLP exports Capparis spinosa buds and berries, verified by botanical authentication.

What are the key varieties of Indian capers?

Indian capers are primarily classified into two types: Capparis spinosa var. spinosa (spiny) and Capparis spinosa var. inermis (spineless). The spineless variety is preferred for cultivation due to easier harvesting. Bud size grades range from 4mm to 12mm, with smaller buds (non-pareil) fetching premium prices. Botanika Bharat LLP offers both varieties, with the spineless variety dominating exports to Europe and the Middle East due to uniform size and lower bitterness.

What are the traditional uses of capers in Indian cuisine?

In India, capers are traditionally used in pickles, chutneys, and as a digestive aid. They are also used in Ayurveda for their anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. In Rajasthan, capers are sun-dried and added to curries. Modern usage includes garnishing for fish, tartare sauce, and salads. Botanika Bharat LLP supplies capers that meet both traditional and international culinary standards, with a focus on consistent flavor and texture.

How are Indian capers different from Mediterranean capers?

Indian capers are smaller, firmer, and have a more intense, peppery flavor compared to Mediterranean capers, which are larger and milder. Indian capers also have a higher oil content, making them ideal for pickling. The Indian variety is often sun-dried, resulting in a darker color. Botanika Bharat LLP exports Indian capers that are prized for their robust taste, preferred by buyers in the GCC and UK for premium pickles and sauces.

What are the export grades for Indian capers?

Indian capers are graded by bud size: Non-pareil (up to 7mm), Surfines (7-8mm), Capucines (8-9mm), Capotes (9-11mm), Fines (11-13mm), and Grusas (13mm+). AGMARK grading under the Spices Board specifies moisture max 12%, purity 99%, and foreign matter 1%. Botanika Bharat LLP offers grades Non-pareil to Capotes, with 99% purity and a maximum of 1% defects, ensuring compliance with global standards.

What quality standards apply to Indian caper exports?

Indian caper exports must adhere to Spices Board India specifications: moisture ≤12%, total ash ≤8%, acid-insoluble ash ≤1.5%, and volatile oil ≥0.3%. AGMARK grading ensures size uniformity and color. Botanika Bharat LLP follows these standards and provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each lot, confirming parameters like moisture, purity, and microbial safety. Our capers are free from pesticides and heavy metals within EU MRLs.

What is the AGMARK grading for capers?

AGMARK grading for capers classifies them into Special, Good, and Fair grades based on size, color, and defect percentage. Special grade allows ≤1% defects, Good ≤3%, and Fair ≤5%. Botanika Bharat LLP supplies Special grade capers, with uniform size and color, packed in food-grade materials. AGMARK certification is optional but we provide it upon request to assure buyers of quality.

What are the Spices Board specifications for capers?

Spices Board India specifies caper standards: moisture max 12%, volatile oil min 0.3%, total ash max 8%, acid-insoluble ash max 1.5%, and crude fiber max 12%. Purity must be 99% with no added colors. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures all exports meet these parameters, with third-party lab testing. We also comply with ASTA color value and provide full traceability from farm to shipment.

What is the moisture content in your capers?

Our capers have a moisture content of ≤12%, as per Spices Board standards. This low moisture ensures longer shelf life and prevents mold growth. We achieve this through controlled sun-drying and mechanical dehydration. Each batch is tested using a moisture analyzer, and results are included in the COA. Botanika Bharat LLP guarantees moisture consistency across shipments, critical for pickling and rehydration processes.

What is the purity percentage of your capers?

Our capers are 99% pure, with a maximum of 1% foreign matter (stems, leaves, or other plant parts). We use optical sorters and manual inspection to achieve this. Purity is verified by third-party labs and documented in the COA. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures that your shipment meets the stringent purity requirements of the EU, USA, and Japan, reducing processing losses for your facility.

What is the volatile oil content in Indian capers?

Indian capers typically contain 0.3% to 0.5% volatile oil, which contributes to their pungent aroma and flavor. This is higher than many Mediterranean varieties. The volatile oil is rich in compounds like rutin and quercetin. Botanika Bharat LLP tests volatile oil content using steam distillation and provides results in the COA. Higher volatile oil makes our capers ideal for premium sauces and pickles.

What active compounds are present in capers?

Capers contain active compounds including rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, and capparine. Rutin is particularly high in capers, known for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds are preserved through our gentle drying process. Botanika Bharat LLP provides a phytochemical profile upon request, ensuring buyers can market capers for health benefits. Our capers retain ≥80% of rutin compared to fresh buds.

What is the ASTA color value of your capers?

The ASTA color value of our capers ranges from 20 to 30, indicating a deep green to olive color. This is measured using spectrophotometry. A higher ASTA value signifies better color retention after pickling. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures consistent color by harvesting at the right maturity and using controlled drying. We provide ASTA values in the COA, allowing buyers to predict final product appearance.

What certifications does Botanika Bharat LLP hold?

Botanika Bharat LLP holds FSSAI license 10251007107816296, IEC ABFFB5548L, APEDA RCMC, ISO 22000, and HACCP certifications. These ensure food safety, export compliance, and quality management.
