How To Make Grass Straws?

Step #1: Harvesting raw materials

Farmers carefully choose and harvest manually plant stalks.

Use an iron rod to thoroughly clean the inner of semi-finished straws, remove the intestine horizontal and velvet surface inside, and then wash again. 

Step #4: Drying and ultraviolet irradiation

The fresh grass straws are dried under the sun for 3-5 hours, then put into the drying machine to make dried grass straws.
