Zheng Feng White Glutinous Rice 1kg

Glutinous rice is a type of rice grown mainly in Southeast and East Asia, North-eastern India and Bhutan which has opaque grains, very low amylose content, and is especially sticky when cooked. It is widely consumed across Asia.

It is called glutinous in the sense of being glue-like or sticky, and not in the sense of containing gluten (which it does not). While often called sticky rice, it differs from non-glutinous strains of japonica rice which also become sticky to some degree when cooked. There are numerous cultivars of glutinous rice, which include japonica, Indica and tropical japonica strains.
