I've been buying oatstraw for several years now. Once I tried a different seller of oatstraw because Starwest's costs to ship to Canada is atrocious in my opinion but anyway, the other supplier who had much more reasonable shipping rate to Canada, had dry, old oatstraw when I got it. It had lost it's medicinal/nutritional value and was bitter in flavour. So I'm back at Starwest and having it shipped to my mother who lives in the states and she then brings it with her when she visits. Even if I didn't have that option I would eat the price of shipping to Canada to get the quality. Oatstraw helps with so many things. One surprising thing it helps me with is insomnia even though there is no literature on Oatstraw helping with this issue. It works wonders for me. I take it as an infusion every night before bed.

I use the bulk herbs for infusions mainly. Oatstraw is my favorite for summer. It's very refreshing and clean served chilled over ice. I don't use any sweetener, it doesn't need it in my opinion. I used this herb years ago when going through menopause, and I'm back to it to help keep my cholesterol in check, and my energy and libido up!
It's the first one I run out of. I love that the bulk herbs from Starwest come in a zip lock bag. Very convenient.

No, it is not typically gluten-free (most likely due to cross-contamination with harvesting, transport, storage and processing equipment that is also used for items containing gluten. Each lot we've tested has tested above the FDA limits for gluten-free products.
