If the caper bud is not picked, it flowers and produces a caper berry. The fruit can be pickled and then served as a Greek mezze. Unripe nasturtium seeds can be substituted for capers; they have a very similar texture and flavour when pickled. Pickled caper berries are very popular as a snack in Menorca.
Accelerated benefits. Depending on the terms of the policy itself, life insurance might be cashed in with the insurance company that issued it. If a policyholder qualifies for these accelerated benefits (sometimes called living benefits), they're usually between 60 and 80 percent of the policy's face value.
Permanent life insurance has an attractive feature: it has a âcash value.â. The cash value is the amount the policy is worth if it is cancelled or âsurrenderedâ while you're still alive. The cash value won't be as much as benefit value â the amount the policy would payout when you pass on. But the cash value can grow large enough to make life insurance a useful tool for investing.
