As cool as it looks, I wonder since the hops have been so "broken" up like that, how they can retain their oils and glands in such a situation?

It's basically the crud that they would normally toss, but now has a market. It's the chicken wings of beer.
I wonder if the wide variety of hop breeds has something to do with it. In he past with fewer varieties they likely didn't need to clean as frequently. Now they are hopefully cleaning between breeds and have way more of this "hash" as a result.
That's good to hear
