SWEET RICE 5 LBS
Create authentic Asian dishes and desserts with Sweet Rice, also known as glutinous rice or sticky rice. This premium short-grain variety cooks up soft, chewy, and slightly sticky — perfect for traditional recipes such as mochi, rice cakes, mango sticky rice, dumplings, or sushi-style rolls.
Despite its name, sweet rice isn’t sugary; it’s called “sweet” for its mild flavor and naturally sticky texture when cooked. Each 5 lb bag offers excellent quality and consistency, making it a pantry essential for Asian kitchens, bakeries, and home cooks seeking reliable texture and performance.
