Glutinous Rice Flour is also known as sweet rice flour or sweet rice powder, this flour is made from short-grain rice that becomes moist, firm and sticky when cooked, a result of its higher proportion of waxy starch molecules.
All About Glutinous Rice Flour (also known as Sweet Rice Flour)
Glutinous rice, which is also gluten free, is soaked and softened in water, drained and ground with water, compressed dehydrated, and then dried in the sun. It is then pulverized into a very fine powder. Glutinous rice flour is sticky and chewy.
The term “glutinous” references the texture and consistency of the cooked rice, not the commonly held assumption that it contains glutens. The street name for glutinous rice is “sweet rice” and often “sticky rice”, which is misleading because glutinous flour is truly gluten-free.
