Purple Sticky Rice is a nutritious and flavorful grain that stands out for its deep purple color, which is derived from anthocyanin pigment—an antioxidant also found in foods like blackberries, acai berries, and eggplants. Once considered “forbidden” and reserved exclusively for Chinese emperors, purple sticky rice was believed to provide health and longevity. Today, it’s enjoyed worldwide for both its taste and health benefits.
Purple sticky rice is a true superfood. Compared to other types of rice—white, red, or brown—it has higher levels of anthocyanins, fiber, protein, and iron. It’s gluten-free and packed with antioxidants that protect cells from free radicals. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great addition to a balanced diet.
With a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, and a sticky texture when cooked, purple sticky rice is versatile in the kitchen. It works beautifully as a side dish or as a substitute for rice in any recipe. Whether added to stir-fries, stews, soups, salads, casseroles, or even desserts, it provides a unique texture and enhances the flavors of the dish.
