Straw is a product of agriculture made up of the dry shoots of crops after the grain and chaff have been removed. It accounts for almost half of cereal crop yields such as barley, oats, rice, rye, and wheat.
What Is Rice Straw?
Rice straw is a rice byproduct that is formed during paddy harvesting. Depending on the variety, snipping off the stalks, and moisture level during harvest, each kilogram of milled rice harvested yields around 0.7–1.4 kg of rice straw. Rice straw is removed from the grains after the plants have been threshed manually, with stationary threshers, or, more recently, using combine harvesters. As lignocellulosic biomass, rice straw is composed of three main components: lignin, cellulose, and hemicelluloses.
Why Use Rice Straw?
The best part about these rice straws is that you can use them as ordinary straws or prepare and consume them. Rice Straws are vegan, halal, and have a storage life of up to 2 years or 3-6 hours in a drink. The best aspect of rice straws is that they have no taste, so they will not interfere with the flavour of your beverage in any way.
Loving Hand’s rice straws are relatively affordable. Our goods are handcrafted from natural materials. Colors may differ slightly from those seen in the images, and all sizes are approximate. Our rice straws are biodegradable as well!
Are Rice Straws Biodegradable?
Compost-stable biodegradable products are those that degrade quickly. Organic materials that decompose naturally are used to make compost-stable products. Compost-friendly materials are simply organic stuff that decomposes quickly. A fully biodegradable product is simply one that is able to decompose at some time. The resultant substance is mineral-rich. Products that are biodegradable and compostable assist businesses and consumers safeguard the environment.
Rice flour and tapioca starch are used to make these colourful edible rice straws. Ideal for cocktails and beverages in a bar or restaurant, as well as for children’s parties, and a perfect option to plastic paper straws. These are eco-friendly rice straws that may be eaten after drinking and cause no harm to society or the environment.
Loving Hand’s Rice Straw
Metal, bamboo, paper, and other plant-based straws are available on the market, but each has its own set of drawbacks. Would you, for example, carry your own metal straws around with you all the time without fear of losing them? Hygiene is also an issue. Paper straws, on the other hand, cannot withstand long periods of immersion in liquid and tend to affect the flavour of your beverages.
Loving Hand’s Rice Straw is literally one of the best choices, with the exception of the issues noted above. Not only is it totally biodegradable, decomposing in 100 days (plastic takes up to 500 years), but it can also withstand cold liquids for 4 to 6 hours and warm drinks for up to 3 hours without losing form or strength. Loving Hands also manufactures our own rice straws so it is highly recommended to switch to rice straws!
Even the smallest change may have a big influence on the globe, so why not ditch our straws in favor of our Edible Rice Straw? Edible Rice Straws are very much available in Malaysia. Even Coffee Bean is using it!
These straws are both eco-friendly and cost-effective, and they come in three different sizes. Plastic is clearly depleting the earth’s resources. Change begins inside us; therefore, let us be the change!
