Cooked sticky rice, also known as glutinous rice, is a staple in many Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese, Thai, Korean, and Japanese dishes. It is characterized by its chewy texture and ability to clump together, making it ideal for handheld snacks, desserts, and savory dishes. Despite the name, sticky rice is naturally gluten-free and derives its "stickiness" from higher levels of starch, particularly amylopectin. Nutritionally, sticky rice is rich in carbohydrates, providing a quick source of energy, but is low in fiber and protein. It has minimal fat and is cholesterol-free, making it suitable for low-fat diets, though it is less nutrient-dense than whole-grain alternatives. Often paired with protein-rich ingredients or sweet fruits, sticky rice works well in balanced meals but should be enjoyed in moderation for those monitoring blood sugar due to its high glycemic index.
