RE: Hop Shoots - The Other Hop Crop! - 5 ways to Eat Hop Shoots
These are great posts - super detailed and with tons of content. I'm going to be coming back for more - resteemed this one. It's strange that the shoots don't pick up the bitter hoppy flavor - although that bodes well for my eating them as I cannot stand hops.
Glad you enjoyed my hop shoots - and thanks for the resteeem! No, the shoots don't taste have that bitter hoppy flavor at all. The leaves get more and more bitter as they grow, and the resin in the hop cones is super bitter, alright! I cook with those bitter hops, too -- but not everyone likes those flavors, for sure. But the shoots are a whole different story. Everyone I've served them has liked them! I hope you get to try them sometime!
