lana.the.explorer Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Reposting since I never got a response on this... I've searched high and low for this, but can't find a solid answer. I have an organic mineral tea mix I bought from an herbarium, and one of the listed ingredients is "Oat Straw". From what I'm seeing, oat straw is basically the plant or grass of oat, so it should technically be acceptable. But I'm not sure! Can anyone please help confirm whether this ingredient in tea is ok or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every question has been asked and answered so if you google 'whole30 + question' you can usually find an answer. In this case, you would find a previous thread which references this Facebook post where Melissa says: Quote If it's truly the oat FLOWER (and not flour!) then it's fine. The issues with grains come in the seed - eating the plant portion doesn't raise the same concerns. Melissa The part that is relevant to your question is of course, 'The issues with grains come in the seed - eating the plant portion doesn't raise the same concerns' So good to go!
