All About Pickled Veggies
Bet you didn’t know…
- Capers aren’t new to the culinary scene—they’ve been around since ancient times.
- Giardiniera has been known to help kids who are teething.
- Ever notice that pearl onions are smaller than many other onions? In fact, they’re planted densely in order to stunt their growth. After all, you can’t fit a big red onion in a cocktail glass.
- The Caper bush bears rounded, fleshy leaves and large white to pinkish-white flowers, but the tiny capers are harvested long before the buds ever flower.
- Cocktails that are traditionally garnished with onions include The Gibson, Patton Martini, and of course, the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster #2.
