About the straws
What are NOMS straws made of?
Three ingredients: rice flour, tapioca starch and water. No added color. That's it.
Why are they golden instead of white?
That's the natural color of rice. We don't add any color, so what you see is what's in it.
Are NOMS straws 100% natural?
Yes. Every ingredient is natural: rice flour, tapioca starch and water.
Are they individually wrapped?
Yes. Each straw comes in a white paper wrapper, ready for service.
How long do they last in a drink?
Cold drinks at 0–10°C (32–50°F): 8–10 hours. Room-temperature drinks at 23–37°C (73–99°F): 6–9 hours. Warm drinks at 45–90°C (113–194°F): 2–4 hours. Times are typical and can vary with the drink and how often you stir.
Can I use them in hot drinks?
Yes, in warm drinks up to about 90°C they hold up 2–4 hours.
