A caper is a kind of plant called Tzlaf in the Talmud (Beitza 25b, Berachot 36a). The capers which the plant bears are small green balls a bout the size of a pea. The caperberries, a separate fruit borne by the same plant, are oblong, semi-green fruits about the size of a grape. Both are eaten after pickling.
