find sweet rice contains gluten, is that true?
It is false. This is a result of confusing two terms: “glutinous”, meaning sticky, with “gluten”, a term describing a protein found in wheat and other cereal grains. Sweet rice is also called “waxy rice” or “glutinous*rice” or “sticky rice” Sweet rice tends to have a higher level of free sugars than the nonwaxy rices, hence the name”sweet rice”. It is also stickier than short grain when it is cooked, and is used in Asia for sticky sweets and snacks, as well as for a variety of desserts. It is also a nice rice for Japanese sushi. Sweet rice, when ground to a flour, has excellent thickening, binding and freeze-thaw properties, making it important for industrial production of gravies and sauces. I have Gluten Enteropathy.
