The consistency of "sticky" rice is determined by two kinds of starch in the kernels, amylose and amylopectin. The more amylopectin, the stickier the texture. Glutinous rice is easily distinguished from other varieties by its milky colour. Most widely consumed where it is grown - mainly in dry areas of northern Thailand, Laos and Cambodia - it is often used as an ingredient in sweet dishes and snacks, and for brewing beer. 2, record 5, English, - glutinous%20rice

El arroz glutinoso (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa o Oryza glutinosa; también denominado arroz pegajoso y arroz dulce) es un tipo de arroz de grano corto que se vuelve pegajoso cuando se cocina. Se denomina glutinoso (del latín glūtinōsus) por lo pegajoso que es y no porque contenga gluten. No debe confundirse con otros arroces asiáticos que poseen este efecto pegajoso, el arroz glutinoso es más pegajoso que estos arroces. 1, record 5, Spanish, - arroz%20glutinoso
