Thai Sticky Rice by the STC brand is a culinary ticket to the heart of Thailand and Laos, regions where this unique rice is the undisputed king of the table. Unlike classic rice, Khao Niao grains are characterized by a high content of amylopectin and almost zero content of amylose, which is the secret to their unique, sticky texture after cooking. It is this characteristic that makes this rice irreplaceable in dishes that require a compact and cohesive structure.

This rice has a wide range of uses. It is a key ingredient in sweet treats, such as the aforementioned Mango Sticky Rice (sticky rice with mango and coconut milk) or desserts wrapped in banana leaves, such as Khao Tom Mat. However, its role does not end with sweets. In Northern Thailand and Laos, it is the rice most commonly served with grilled fish, chicken, and spicy curry dishes, where its texture makes it easy to scoop up food by hand. It is also often used to produce rice flour for Asian dumplings and noodles.

By choosing Thai Sticky Rice Better, you are opting for a product that requires a specific preparation method – traditionally, it is steamed after being soaked. Although this process may seem more complicated than cooking regular rice, it rewards with an exceptional taste and texture that is captivating and addictive.
