HOPS...
#AbFav_GREEN_ 🍀
Hops are the flowers (also called seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant Humulus lupulus.
They are used primarily as a flavouring and stability agent in beer, to which they impart bitter, zesty, or citric flavours; though they are also used for various purposes in other beverages and herbal medicine.
The hop plant is a vigorous, climbing, herbaceous perennial, usually trained to grow up strings.
Many different varieties of hops are grown by farmers around the world, with different types used for particular styles of beer.
The first documented use of hops in beer is from the 9th century.
Hops are also used in brewing for their antibacterial effect over less desirable microorganisms and for purported benefits including balancing the sweetness of the malt with bitterness and a variety of flavours and aromas.
