Oat Straw

Oat straw is the dried green stalk and leaf of the oat plant, Avena sativa, a cereal grass of the family Poaceae. Nustras supplies it as dried cut herb, milled powder or extract powder, for use as a botanical ingredient in herbal products, supplements and personal-care formulations.

It is formulated into herbal teas and infusions, botanical capsule and tablet blends, liquid extracts and tinctures, functional beverages, and bath and skin-care preparations where oat straw is a traditional ingredient.

The material is a pale green to straw-coloured cut herb or powder with a mild, hay-like odour. Plant part, cut size or mesh and, for extracts, the extraction ratio are standardised to specification and confirmed on each lot, with botanical identity confirmed macroscopically and microscopically or by chromatographic fingerprint. Heavy-metal, pesticide-residue and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies oat straw in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Oat straw is an accepted botanical ingredient in major herbal and supplement markets; buyers confirm the permitted plant part, level and claim for their application.
