Q & A

How are the Wheat straws made?

Loola Loves wheat straws are made from natural wheat. Once the wheat plant has reached maturity the grain is harvested & the wheat stems are removed & typically either disposed of or used for animal feed....or in our case....drinking straw!  Loola Loves straws are made from the stem of the wheat plant & not the grain. 

 

Are the wheat staws gluten free?
