Description
Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice or sweet rice, is a unique variety of rice cherished for its sticky, chewy texture and slightly sweet flavor. Despite its name, it contains no gluten; instead, it owes its stickiness to its high amylopectin content, a type of starch that gives it its characteristic texture.
Glutinous rice offers a generous supply of this beloved ingredient, perfect for creating a variety of traditional Asian dishes and desserts. When cooked, glutinous rice becomes soft and sticky, making it ideal for forming into dumplings, steamed rice cakes, and sushi rolls. Its ability to hold together firmly also makes it a popular choice for wrapping ingredients in bamboo leaves or lotus leaves for steaming.
