What Is Thai Glutinous Rice?

Thai Glutinous Rice is a short- to medium-grain rice variety with a high amylopectin content and very low amylose. When cooked, the grains stick together, creating the characteristic chewy and elastic texture that defines sticky rice.

Unlike regular white rice, glutinous rice is typically soaked before cooking and steamed rather than boiled.
