Straw
Detailed information:
A fibrous, cellulosic component of cereal plants (wheat, rice, etc.). Its fibers are 1–1.5 mm long, similar to those of hardwoods. Straw can be pulped by the alkaline process to yield specialty papers of high quality. Use of straw for papermaking is of limited importance in the U.S. due to the abundance of pulpwood.
