"Glutinous rice (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa; also called sticky rice, sweet rice or waxy rice) is a type of rice grown mainly in Southeast and East Asia, which has opaque grains, very low amylose content, and is especially sticky when cooked. It is called glutinous (< Latin gl\u016Btin\u014Dsus) in the sense of being glue-like or sticky, and not in the sense of containing gluten."@en . . .
