Thai glutinous sticky rice exporter
White and black glutinous rice from north and northeast Thailand, with the chewy, cohesive texture that Thai and Asian cuisine, desserts and snacks need.
What is Thai glutinous rice?
Glutinous rice, also called sticky rice, is a rice that becomes chewy and sticks together when cooked because its starch is almost entirely amylopectin. Thai glutinous rice is grown mainly in north and northeast Thailand, from varieties such as RD6. It is used for Thai and Lao dishes, desserts, rice cakes, snacks and glutinous rice flour.

Glutinous and sticky rice: questions and answers
Have another question? Ask our export team.
What is the difference between glutinous rice and regular rice?
Glutinous rice contains almost no amylose starch, so it becomes chewy and sticky when cooked. Regular rice contains more amylose and cooks into separate grains. Despite the name, glutinous rice contains no gluten.
Does glutinous rice contain gluten?
No. Glutinous rice is naturally gluten-free. The name refers to its glue-like, sticky texture when cooked.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for Thai glutinous rice?
Order quantities for Thai glutinous rice are agreed directly between each buyer and our export team, based on grade, packing and delivery schedule. It can also be combined with other rice types or bag sizes in a mixed container, and regular buyers can arrange scheduled shipments.
