Grass straws are a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic straws. They are made from a type of hollow stem grass called Lepironia articulata, which is native to Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam where they are widely cultivated in the Mekong Delta .

Here's how grass straws are made:

The stems are harvested by hand.

They are then cleaned and cut into the desired length.

The straws are dried in the sun for a few days.

Finally, they may be baked in an oven to further dry them and improve their durability.

Grass straws are biodegradable and compostable, which means they break down naturally after they are used. This is a major advantage over plastic straws, which can take hundreds of years to decompose and can pollute the environment.

Here are some other benefits of using grass straws:

They are a renewable resource.

They are non-toxic and safe to use.

They have a neutral taste and odor.

They can be a fun and conversation-starting addition to your drink!
