Sticky white rice, also known as glutinous rice, is a variety of rice originating from Southeast Asia, commonly used in cuisines like Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean. Despite its name, the term "glutinous" refers to its sticky texture when cooked, not the presence of gluten—it is naturally gluten-free. Sticky white rice is rich in carbohydrates, making it a quick source of energy, but contains minimal fiber compared to other types of rice due to the polishing process. It is primarily used in desserts, sushi, and savory dishes like rice cakes or dumplings. While its chewy texture and versatility are widely appreciated, sticky rice has a high glycemic index, which may impact blood sugar levels when consumed in large quantities. For a more balanced option, pairing it with fiber-rich vegetables or proteins can help mitigate its glycemic effect while enhancing nutritional value.
