About Pearl rice

Pearl rice, often called "sticky rice" or "glutinous rice," is a short-grain variety popular in East and Southeast Asian cuisines. Known for its soft, sticky texture when cooked, pearl rice is a staple in dishes like sushi, rice-based desserts, and savory dumplings. It is naturally gluten-free and rich in carbohydrates, providing a quick energy source. Pearl rice contains small amounts of protein, B vitamins, and essential minerals like manganese. However, it is low in fiber and micronutrients compared to whole-grain options like brown rice. Its refined nature means it is less suitable for individuals seeking lower glycemic-index foods or diets high in fiber. Nevertheless, when enjoyed in moderation and as part of a balanced meal, pearl rice remains a versatile and delightful ingredient cherished in traditional cooking and celebrations across many cultures.
