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.
BREAKING DOWN 'Cash-Value Life Insurance'. The other major category of life insurance is called term insurance, because it is generally in force only for a period of 10 to 30 years or until the policyholder cancels it.
