Why we like them:

• Selected by hand, cut and packed with love in South Australia.
• Grown on South Australian certified organic farmland, they are the inner stalk of the rye plant and the by-product of the grain production.
• They give employment to people living in the rural areas of South Australia
• Naturally gluten free*, super sturdy, tasteless and naturally waterproof.
• 100% compostable and biodegradable in your home compost, your garden or in commercial composting facilities.
• Each purchase supports South Australian organic farmers and encourages more local sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic.

*Rye stalks are naturally gluten free, and Mister RYE straws have been tested gluten-free. Gluten is present only in the rye grain. Mister RYE’s cleaning and sterilisation processes are carefully controlled, although cross contamination cannot be guaranteed. 

From production:

First and only Australian grown and made drinking straws. Mister RYE works with organic certified farmers and uses the byproduct of the rye crops to replace plastic and paper options. The straws are the inner part of the rye plant.
