Buying Tips

Buy glutinous rice in the packaged grains section of grocery, health food, and specialty stores. It may also be available in bulk at your health food store; look for intact kernels that aren’t broken, scratched, or damaged.

Varieties

Glutinous rice comes in white or black (actually rust colored) varieties.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Stir the rice during its cooking time, which takes about 20 minutes. Use in preparing sushi, or as a base for creamy rice pudding.

To reheat cooked rice, for each 1 cup (200 grams) of cooked rice, add 2 tablespoons (30mL) liquid. Cover and heat four to five minutes on top of range or in oven. In a microwave oven, cook on High about 1 1/2 minutes per cup (200g).

Store rice in a cool, dry area in a sealed glass or plastic container, away from the open air and moisture. Cooked rice can be refrigerated for up to seven days, or stored in the freezer for six months.
