Jarred and brined nonpareil capers, which cost about $2.00 for the same amount, are fine and you can look for either a good house brand, e.g., Whole Foods, or a quality brand like Roland, which specializes in fine imported food products. An 8 oz. jar of caper berries will cost about $5.00.
Sometimes capers are allowed to mature to a fruit about the size of an olive. These are sold as caper berries and are brined to be eaten like pickles or olives. It's common to see them included in an antipasti platter. Capers also aren't new to the culinary scene -- they've been around since ancient times.
