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==Parts Used=={{Parts Used|Leaves}}, 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{{Parts Used|Roots}}.
== Description Chemical Composition== As The volatile oils of hops are a climbing plant, they are trained to grow up trellises made from strings or wires that support have been associated with the plants promotion of sleep and allow them significantly greater growth with the same sunlight profileanti-microbial properties in vitro. In this way, energy that would have been required to build structural cells is also freed for crop growth.Male The bitter acids may possess anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activity and female flowers of the hop plant usually develop on separate plants (that is, the plant is dioecious), although fertile monoecious individuals appear occasionally. Because viable seeds are undesirable for brewing beer, only female plants are grown in hop fields, thus preventing pollinationflavonoids may also have anti-proliferative properties. <ref name="chemical composition"/>
