Glutinous (Sticky) Rice

Glutinous (Sticky) Rice—also known as sweet rice or waxy rice—is one of the most prized rice varieties across Asia, known for its rich texture, unique stickiness, and slightly sweet flavor. Unlike regular rice, glutinous rice contains minimal amylose, which gives it that signature “sticky” consistency when cooked. This makes it indispensable in traditional Asian cuisines and food industries where texture and mouthfeel are essential.

In today’s global market, Glutinous Rice serves as a vital ingredient not only in culinary dishes but also in food manufacturing, confectionery, and beverage production. It’s widely used in making rice cakes, desserts, dumplings, sushi, and fermented drinks, offering both taste and functionality.
