straw

Straw is the dry, hollow stalks of cereal crops like wheat, barley, or oats after the grains are harvested. It’s an agricultural byproduct used for various purposes, including animal bedding, mulch, and material for eco-friendly products. Straw is lightweight, coarse, and fibrous, providing insulation and cushioning. It’s also used in biofuel production and construction. Because it’s renewable and biodegradable, straw serves as an environmentally sustainable resource. Its physical properties make it suitable for insulation and packaging, while its natural origin ensures it’s a safe, natural option for multiple applications.
