The search for a truly earth-friendly straw is over with HAY! Straws 5" natural wheat compostable stir sticks. A byproduct of wheat production, HAY! Straws stir sticks are made from natural wheat stems. When wheat grain is harvested, stems are cut and turned into things like hay - or, in this case, 100% natural stir sticks! Add a fun, eco-friendly alternative to your bar, restaurant, catered event, or food truck with HAY! Straws stir sticks.
HAY! Straws stir sticks are a superior alternative to both plastic and paper stir sticks. With plastic-free packaging, they reduce the number of harmful plastics that pollute the environment and negatively impact ecosystems around the world. Designed by nature to withstand the elements, HAY! Straws stir sticks can be used in hot drinks, unlike most other plastic stir stick alternatives. And unlike paper stir sticks, they do not get soggy, come from a renewable source, and require minimal processing. Since HAY! Straws stir sticks are purely wheat, they're also 100% compostable.
These natural stir sticks also add visual appeal when served with your signature cocktails and hot beverages with their unique appearance and slightly golden color. No two straws are exactly alike, thanks to naturally-occurring variance among plants. Each stir stick is soaked and rinsed 3 times with sterilized water to ensure hygienic use, air-dried, and inspected for quality. HAY! Straws stir sticks are also hand-packed into cardboard boxes for completely plastic-free packaging. Stir sticks are not intended to be eaten or digested and should only be used as a straw to drink various liquids.
