Straw is an agricultural byproduct, the dry stalk, of cereal plants once the grain and chaff have been removed. Cereal crops include wheat, rye, rice, oats, barley, and other grain crops. Straw has a golden yellow color.
- Wheat: Wheat straw can be used as feed, mulch, bedding, and building material.
- Rice: Rice straw can condition the soil, generate energy, and feed livestock.
- Rye: Rye straw can be used as animal bedding and mulch.
- Oats: Oat straw extract from the Avena sativa plant may have several health benefits, including anti-inflammation and mood enhancement
- Barley: Barley straw is commonly used to control algae growth in ponds.
As an agricultural byproduct, straw is what is leftover from grain crops that have been grown and harvested for animal or human food production. Grain crops include wheat, rice, oats, and barley.
The harvest process involves threshing, which is removing the chaff and grain from the stalk. The grain is the edible portion that can be used for animal feed or milled into flour for bread and pasta. The chaff is the dry, protective casing covering the seed. In corn, the chaff is the green corn husk leaves that protect the seeds. Humans can’t digest it, but it can be a low-quality forage for livestock.
After the grain and chaff are removed, the stalk byproduct is left. Dry stalks can be assembled into straw bales and tied together with string or twine.
