Sodium Content

Capers, whether they are preserved in brine or in salt, contain a high amount of sodium. A 1 tablespoon serving of canned caper buds contains 255 milligrams of sodium per serving. This is 11 percent of your daily recommended sodium intake, which tops out at 2,300 milligrams per day. Adults with high blood pressure should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams per day. A diet high in sodium can lead to a number of health complications, the foremost of which is high blood pressure.
