Caperberries In Vinegar — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Caperberries In Vinegar by La Pedriza MUNCH — score 88/90.

Four ingredients: caperberries, water, vinegar, salt. That's it — the vinegar is the preservative, the salt is the seasoning, and the fruit is the point. The only thing to manage is the sodium, which is just the physics of pickling.

Why this verdict

• Four-ingredient list, every one a recognizable kitchen staple
• Whole fermented fruit — fiber, polyphenols, and flavonoids intact
