Black Glutinous Rice

产品概述

Black Glutinous Rice, known in Thailand as khao niao dam and often sold internationally as purple or black sticky rice, is an unpolished glutinous variety whose bran layer carries high concentrations of anthocyanins — the same class of pigments found in blackcurrants and purple corn. Cooking releases the colour, turning the grain and its liquid a deep violet. It is the traditional base for Thai black sticky rice pudding served with coconut cream, for Filipino champorado, and for a wide range of Southeast and East Asian desserts. Beyond tradition, food manufacturers specify it as a clean-label natural colour and as a wholegrain with a strong antioxidant marketing story. It requires overnight soaking and is frequently blended with white glutinous rice to control colour intensity and texture.
