🍃 Description
VH sticky rice, traditionally known as Nếp Cái Hoa Vàng, is a round-grain sticky rice native to Vietnam, prized for its high quality, intense aroma and sticky texture when cooked. This rice is popular in South-East Asia and is used to prepare a range of traditional dishes and desserts.

🍚 Character and flavour

• Texture: Once cooked, the grains clump together to form a soft and sticky consistency, which is typical of ‘sticky rice’ — this makes it easy to shape and ensures it holds together well when served or incorporated into dishes.

• Aroma and flavour: a delicate, slightly sweet flavour with a more pronounced natural rice aroma, which is characteristic of traditional Asian sticky rice.

🍽️ Uses
VH sticky rice is ideal for:
✔️ xôi / sticky rice — cooked sticky rice as a side dish or dessert option
✔️ traditional Vietnamese dishes such as bánh chưng and bánh tét (festive rice cakes)
✔️ sweet desserts and porridges, where the consistency of the rice forms the basis
✔️ as an accompaniment to meat, vegetables or fruit, thanks to its stickiness and aroma
