The green tops of Avena sativa are naturally free of gluten, though oats are often processed alongside grains that contain it, so anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should choose verified options and consult a qualified practitioner. Those with a known oat or grass-pollen allergy should approach with care.

Frequently asked questions Is your oatstraw safe if I am sensitive to gluten? Oatstraw is the green tops of the Avena sativa plant, and those green tops are naturally free of gluten. Oats are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat and other grains, so if you have celiac disease or a known gluten sensitivity we suggest you choose verified options and check with your practitioner first. Every lot we ship is backed by a specific third-party Certificate of Analysis so you can see exactly what is in the batch you receive. How long should I steep oatstraw to pull out the most minerals? Oatstraw is dense and mineral-rich, so a quick steep barely scratches the surface. For a truly nourishing infusion, steep 1 to 2 tablespoons in 8 ounces of near-boiling water, cover it, and let it rest for 4 to 8 hours or overnight. The long soak is what draws the calcium, magnesium, and bioavailable silica into your cup. What is the difference between oatstraw and milky oats? Oatstraw is the dried green stems and leaves of the oat plant, gathered before the seed matures, and it makes a wonderful everyday mineral infusion. Milky oats are the unripe seed heads, picked during a brief window when they release a milky sap, and they are prized for a more concentrated, immediate kind of nervous-system support. We carry oatstraw for its gentle, building, day-to-day nourishment. Is your oatstraw certified organic? Yes.

It is grown in the USA and harvested while the green tops are still lush. Beyond the certifications, every lot we ship is backed by a specific third-party Certificate of Analysis you can review, along with the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.
