Hops are the flowers (also called seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant Humulus lupulus. They are used primarily as a flavoring 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 in a field called a hopfield, hop garden (nomenclature in the South of England), or hop yard (in the West Country and U.S.) when grown commercially. Many different varieties of hops are grown by farmers around the world, with different types being used for particular styles of beer.
== Description Uses== As hops are a climbing plant{{Uses|Wounds}}, {{Uses|Cuts}}, {{Uses|Snakebites}}, they are trained to grow up trellises made from strings or wires that support the plants and allow them significantly greater growth with the same sunlight profile. In this way{{Uses|Curing liver disorders}}, energy that would have been required to build structural cells is also freed for crop growth.Male and female flowers of the hop plant usually develop on separate plants (that is{{Uses|Skin eruptions}}, the plant is dioecious){{Uses|Blotches}}, although fertile monoecious individuals appear occasionally. Because viable seeds are undesirable for brewing beer{{Uses|Pimples}}, only female plants are grown in hop fields{{Uses|Diarrhea}}, thus preventing pollination. {{Uses|Sore throats}}
