Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice, is a key ingredient in many Asian dishes and desserts. In the UK, more customers are searching for authentic sticky rice for recipes such as mango sticky rice, rice dumplings and savoury steamed dishes.
What Is Glutinous Rice?
Glutinous rice becomes soft and sticky after cooking, making it very different from standard long grain rice. It is commonly used in Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean cuisine.
Many customers choose glutinous rice because it works well for:
- desserts
- steamed rice dishes
- rice cakes
- dumplings
- festive recipes
Where Can You Buy It?
While some major supermarkets stock limited sticky rice products, Asian supermarkets usually provide more authentic brands and larger pack sizes.
Shopping at Asian grocery stores also gives customers more variety, including:
- Thai sticky rice
- black glutinous rice
- sweet rice
- glutinous rice flour
