Glutinous Rice

-

Also known as sticky rice, this grain is popular in Southeast and East Asia. While, it does not actually contain any dietary gluten, its high starch content results in a sticky, glue-like texture when cooked. Glutinous rice is used in both sweet and savoury dishes, such as the Thai khao neeo mamuang (mango sticky rice) or the Chinese lo mai gai (steamed glutinous rice with chicken).
