Hops Flower Herb (Sold In Bulk)

Hops flowers are the female flowers of the hop plant (Humulus lupulus), and they play a crucial role in the brewing process. They give beer its characteristic bitterness, balance out the sweetness from malt, and contribute to the flavor and aroma profile of the beer.

Hops contain compounds like alpha acids (which provide bitterness) and essential oils (which provide aroma and flavor). Some common hop varieties include Cascade, Citra, Saaz, and Centennial, each offering distinct flavor profiles, from citrusy and piney to earthy and floral.

Hops can also be used for other purposes, such as in herbal teas, for their calming effects, or even in certain skincare products due to their antioxidant properties.
