Stickie Rice, also referred to as glutinous rice, is a type of staple grain popular in Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly Thai, Lao, and Vietnamese dishes. Despite its name, it contains no gluten; its distinctively sticky texture comes from high levels of amylopectin starch. This variety is often paired with savory dishes or sweet desserts like mango sticky rice. Nutritionally, sticky rice is rich in carbohydrates, making it a quick source of energy, but it contains minimal fiber and protein compared to whole-grain alternatives. It’s naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. However, sticky rice has a high glycemic index, meaning it can elevate blood sugar levels rapidly, which may not align well with diets focused on managing glucose. Its simplicity and versatility in cooking make it a beloved component of traditional Asian meals while requiring moderation for balanced nutritional intake.
