What are hops?

Hops will grow anywhere, except in desert areas. The female and the male plant grow separately, and despite its attractive flowers, the male type is less reputed than the female, whose edible papery flowers are celebrated for their use in beer making. The green resinous cones are harvested in Autumn and used to give the beverage a bitter flavour, with nuances depending on the hop variety. Hops powder is produced by drying the flower cones and grinding them into a fine powder. 

What are the benefits of hops powder?

• Eases tension, such as cramps or tired muscles
• Reduces stress and irritability
• Promotes restful sleep

Myrcene is probably the most important naturally occurring compound in hops. It is responsible for the ingredient’s leafy aroma and has a soothing effect on the mind and skin. It is thought to be antiseptic, helping preserve beer and other products it's used in. In powder form, hops can be added to our solid, packaging-free products such as bath bombs.
