Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do rice straws last in a drink?
Our rice straws stay firm for 2+ hours in any drink — hot or cold. They won't go soggy or break down like paper straws. Most customers finish their drink long before the straw shows any softening.
Are they really edible?
Yes! Rice straws are made from food-grade ingredients — rice flour and tapioca starch. They're completely safe to eat, though most people simply compost or bin them after use. They're also vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free.
What size straw do I need?
6mm works for standard drinks like juices, soft drinks, and cocktails. 8mm is ideal for smoothies and thicker beverages. 10mm and 12mm are designed for bubble tea and extra-thick smoothies where you need tapioca pearls to pass through.
How should I store them?
Keep rice straws in a cool, dry place in their original sealed packaging. Avoid exposure to moisture or humidity. Stored correctly, they have a shelf life of 18 months.
Do they transfer any taste to drinks?
No. Rice straws are completely odourless and tasteless — there's zero flavour transfer to your drink. They also don't bleed colour, even the black coconut shell variant.
Are they suitable for hot drinks?
Absolutely. Rice straws work in both hot and cold beverages. They perform better in cold temperature.
How long do they take to decompose?
Rice straws are fully biodegradable and break down within approximately 90 days in composting conditions. Compare that to plastic straws which take 200+ years.
