Hop - Humulus lupulus
Hops (Humulus lupulus) are a hardy, perennial climbing plant belonging to the hemp family (Cannabaceae). The name lupulus may be derived from the Latin word lupus (wolf), which refers to the way the plant twines itself around other plants.
Hops have a long cultural history. The plant was already valued by the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians for its aromatic properties. Later, hops became a staple ingredient in beer production, where they continue to play an important role today due to their characteristic flavor and aroma. Hops were also frequently described in herbals and other historical sources during the Middle Ages.
