The golden and dark brown tones come from the grass itself, sun-dried and unbleached after the rabi harvest.

Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations in colour, texture and dimension are natural and celebrate its handmade origin.

On the Dining Table: Set one mat at each place setting on a wooden or glass-top dining table, letting the golden-brown weave contrast against white or off-white crockery. Earthy stoneware in grey, terracotta, or olive works too. For a longer table, line three or four mats down the centre as a runner substitute instead of a single cloth.

As a Centrepiece Base: Stack a brass urli or a small terracotta planter on the mat to anchor a living-room coffee table. The natural texture adds a layer beneath the object without competing with it. This works best in rooms with clean, minimal furniture where a single textured accent is enough.

In a Pooja or Chai Corner: The round shape fits under a small brass diya set, a kumkum tray, or a single-serve chai arrangement on a corner shelf or window ledge. It protects the surface from heat and water rings.

Pairing Notes: Wheat grass reads warm and rustic. Pair with linen, raw cotton, and matte-finish ceramics for a cohesive look. Avoid high-gloss acrylic or metallic surfaces, where the contrast reads unfinished rather than intentional.

Harvest and Drying: The wheat grass is collected after the rabi harvest in Hardoi, when the stalks would otherwise be discarded or burned. They are sorted by thickness, cleaned, and sun-dried over several days until all moisture is gone. The characteristic golden colour is entirely natural.

Coiling and Stitching: Dried grass is bundled into tight ropes. Starting from the centre, the artisan coils outward in a flat spiral, stitching each ring to the previous one with thin grass strips or cotton thread. Tension matters. Too loose and the mat warps; too tight and it cracks.

Finishing: Once the coil reaches 12 inches, the edge is tucked and bound. Some mats include a ring of naturally browned grass for contrast. No dyes, adhesives, or chemicals are used at any stage.

What is a wheat grass table mat made of?

A wheat grass table mat is made from dried stalks of the common wheat plant, harvested as an agricultural byproduct after the rabi crop in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh. The stalks are cleaned, sun-dried, and hand-coiled into a flat round mat without any dyes, adhesives, or chemical treatments.

How do I clean a wheat grass mat?

Clean your wheat grass mat by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not soak or submerge it in water, as prolonged moisture weakens the natural fibres and loosens the coils.

Can I use this mat under hot plates and tea pots?

This mat handles moderate heat from plates and tea pots served at the table, because dried grass is a natural insulator that protects the surface beneath from heat marks. Avoid placing it directly under cookware taken straight off the stove.

Is wheat grass craft eco-friendly?

Wheat grass craft is fully eco-friendly because it repurposes a post-harvest agricultural byproduct that would otherwise be discarded or burned. No synthetic dyes, plastics, or chemical binders are used, and the finished product is biodegradable.

Who makes the wheat grass products on My E-Haat?

The wheat grass products on My E-Haat are made by the Samuday Crafts cluster, a group of women artisans in the Hardoi district of Uttar Pradesh. Around 50 artisans work with wheat grass during the non-farming season, turning crop residue into functional craft.

What size is this round table mat?

This round table mat is 12 inches in diameter and weighs approximately 200 grams. It fits a single place setting or works as a base for a small centrepiece.

Will the colour of the mat change over time?

The natural golden-brown colour of this mat may deepen slightly with age, which is normal for undyed plant fibre. Keeping it out of prolonged direct sunlight slows any tonal shift.

How is wheat grass craft different from sabai grass or moonj grass weaving?

Wheat grass craft uses dried stalks of the common wheat plant, while sabai grass and moonj are perennial wild grasses with different fibre properties. The coiling and stitching technique is similar, but the source material and the communities that practice each tradition differ by region.

Can I use this mat outdoors?

This mat is best suited for indoor use because prolonged exposure to rain or humidity will soften the grass and loosen the coiling. Brief use on a covered patio or dry balcony is fine.

Is this wheat grass mat food-safe?

This wheat grass mat is food-safe in the sense that no chemical finishes, synthetic dyes, or harmful treatments are applied to the grass. It functions as a placemat or trivet beneath plates and pots, not as a direct food-contact serving surface.
