{"product_id":"lykiskos-apoxiramena-anthi","title":"Hops – Dried Flowers – Humulus lupulus","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHops – Dried Flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eHumulus lupulus\u003c\/em\u003e) consists of dried cones\/flowers with an intense, resinous, herbal, and bitter character. At Spices Bazaar, it is presented based on its actual form and the available botanical identity. Historical or traditional references provide useful cultural context, but are not turned into therapeutic promises. As a natural raw material, it may vary in color, cut, and aroma intensity between batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHops – Dried Flowers – identity and form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical reference \u003cem\u003eHumulus lupulus\u003c\/em\u003e helps avoid confusion with related species and similarly named products. The form consists of dried cones\/flowers. We do not assume the country of origin, variety, species, or concentration of natural compounds beyond what is documented for the batch. Correct identification is especially important when different plant parts have different uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCharacter and practical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe profile is intense, resinous, herbal, and bitter. Hops are well known in brewing, where they contribute bitterness and aroma. The herbal raw material is not presented as a treatment for insomnia or anxiety and is not equated with concentrated extracts. The cut and form affect its intensity and how it can be used. A fine powder has a much larger surface area than whole leaves, wood, or root and therefore behaves differently in each preparation. Where used as food, always follow the labeling for the specific batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDifferent forms, different rules\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDried plant, resin, essential oil, tincture, capsule, and standardized extract are not interchangeable. The concentration of natural compounds and the safety profile can vary significantly. For this reason, do not copy dosages or claims from one form to another. The product's exact name and intended use take precedence over any general information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality and proper storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do not assess a natural product solely by whether its color is exactly the same as that of a previous batch. Harvesting, drying, grinding, and time affect its appearance. Use a clean, dry utensil, close the package immediately, and protect the product from steam. If transferring it to a jar, be sure to keep the original label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated product in the catalog\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor comparison, see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/valeriana-apoxirameni\"\u003eDried Valerian\u003c\/a\u003e. The related product is not necessarily a substitute. It may differ in species, plant part, cut, or concentration. Comparing products helps you choose the right form for the specific application and avoid common confusion between products with similar names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA little Spices Bazaar secret\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrite the opening date on the container and do not mix a new batch with old leftovers. For products with a strong aroma, use a tightly sealed container to prevent nearby spices and herbs from absorbing the scent. This simple practice noticeably improves the organization and consistency of a professional or home collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage and precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, away from moisture, heat, and strong odors. It may have a sedative effect in some uses. Use caution with sedatives or other substances with sedative effects, and seek professional advice during pregnancy or breastfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover more flavors, aromas, and stories from around the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow Spices Bazaar on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/www.SpicesBazaar.gr\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Aiodigoseyexias\"\u003eYouTube\u003c\/a\u003e for new arrivals, recommendations, and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spices Bazaar","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":54895948333383,"sku":"SB-HER-54440-050","price":5.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":54895948366151,"sku":"SB-HER-54440-100","price":6.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":54895948398919,"sku":"SB-HER-54440-500","price":33.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1,000 g","offer_id":54895948431687,"sku":"SB-HER-54440-1K","price":66.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/1805\/5751\/files\/spices-bazaar-lykiskos-top.webp?v=1793114755","url":"https:\/\/spices-bazaar-2.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/lykiskos-apoxiramena-anthi","provider":"Spices Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
