The yellow Lupulin powder is hidden inside the cones. You can only really see it when you peel the layers back.

You picked them with bare hands?! I wear gloves as the little hairs on the leaves and bines scratch my skin to shreds.
It might just be that they dried up in the hot weather. If so they'll uncurl now it's rained.
You might also want to check for ants breeding black fly on the underside. They suck the moisture from the leaves causing them to curl over. You can usually just scrape them off with a wet finger.
This reminds me of the book "Only you can save mankind" by Terry Pratchett. The aliens surrender once they realise the player is apparently immortal!
