Oat Straw

Oat Straw Avena sativa

This is slowly becoming one of my go to ingredients. It’s flavor is soft, a little sweet and mellow making it a good flavor pair for many ingredients. Oat Straw also imparts to me a cozy, warm, feeling. It’s a great source of calcium and antioxidants. There are some studies that suggest it may improve mood by inhibiting the enzyme PDE4 (phosphodiesterase type 4) which is found in immune cells. Oat Straw is also believe to relieve stress, anxiety and depression, improve blood flow, reduce inflammation and boost brain function. We use Oat Straw in blends that focus on improving or enhancing your mood.
