Hop Flowers (Humulus lupulus) – Whole

Hop Flowers (Humulus lupulus) are well known as a classic ingredient in brewing, but these whole dried flowers are also a versatile staple in the homestead apothecary. Their slightly bitter, earthy flavor and calming aroma make them useful beyond the brew kettle. Traditionally, hops have been steeped into teas, infused in oils, or added to sachets and pillows for their relaxing qualities. In the kitchen, they bring a unique herbal bitterness to homemade recipes and beverages.
