Sticky rice, also known as glutinous rice, is a type of short-grain rice notable for its distinctively sticky texture when cooked. Commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Thai, Lao, and Vietnamese dishes, it serves as a base for savory meals and sweet desserts. Sticky rice is naturally gluten-free and offers a source of carbohydrates that provide quick energy. It contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, manganese, and selenium, but is low in protein and fiber compared to other rice varieties. Its high glycemic index means it can cause rapid blood sugar spikes, so moderation is advised for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Sticky rice is traditionally enjoyed with rich, flavorful sauces or paired with fruits and nuts for balance, making it a versatile and satisfying staple in many cultural diets.
