I tried to grow some seeds of these once without any luck.
I think they like a very dry environment(Might be the new Oz crop?) & may have special germantion requirments. Still they are very cheap in supermarkets. I doubt if I would pick them for the price.

Tiny Capers Pack Big Disease-fighting Punch
ScienceDaily (Oct. 25, 2007) — Capers, used in such culinary delights as chicken piccata and smoked salmon, may be small.
But they are an unexpectedly big source of natural antioxidants that show promise for fighting cancer and heart disease when added to meals, particularly meats, researchers in Italy are reporting.
. . .
The scientists found that caper-extract helped prevent the formation of certain byproducts of digested meat that have been linked by others to an increased risk of cancer and heart disease. That beneficial effect occurred even with the small amounts of caper typically used to flavour food.
