Frequently Asked Questions
Does sticky rice contain gluten?
No, sticky rice is completely gluten-free. The term 'glutinous' refers to its sticky, glue-like texture from high amylopectin starch content, not from gluten protein.
How is sticky rice different from regular rice?
Sticky rice has almost 100% amylopectin starch (versus 70-80% in regular rice), making it much stickier when cooked. It's typically steamed rather than boiled and has a sweeter taste.
