Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice or sweet rice, is a type of rice distinguished by its opaque grains and particularly sticky texture when cooked. Unlike regular rice, it contains almost no amylose, resulting in a characteristic glutinous quality. Raw glutinous rice grains are short and plump, appearing white and chalky. Once cooked, glutinous rice transforms into a soft, chewy, and slightly sweet delight, making it a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes.

To maximize the shelf life of glutinous rice, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place, such as a pantry. Properly stored, glutinous rice can last for several years. Cooked glutinous rice should be refrigerated promptly and used within 3-4 days to prevent spoilage. Freezing cooked glutinous rice is also an option for longer storage; just ensure it's cooled completely before freezing in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
