Glutinous rice flour is a type of flour made from sticky or glutinous rice, which is a short-grain rice known for its high starch content. This flour is commonly used in various Asian cuisines, particularly in desserts and dumplings, due to its unique chewy texture when cooked. Unlike regular rice flour, glutinous rice flour does not contain gluten, making it suitable for gluten-free diets. It is often used to make mochi, rice cakes, and other traditional dishes, providing a distinct taste and consistency that enhances the overall culinary experience.
