Whole cones from the Hallertau, picked at the point where the bracts feel papery and the yellow lupulin dusts your palm. That yellow powder is the active fraction — cones that do not shed it have been stored too long.

Traditional use

Traditionally combined with valerian in the evening, and used as a bitter for a sluggish appetite.

Constituents
