Fusion Select Sanpatong Thai Sticky Rice 10 lb — Authentic Glutinous, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free

Fusion Select 10lb Sanpatong Thai Sticky Rice is authentic glutinous white rice from Thailand designed for classic sticky-rice desserts and savory Asian dishes.

Harvested in Thailand and packaged in a generous 10-pound bag, this Sanpatong sticky rice (khao niao) delivers the chewy, slightly sweet texture used in mango sticky rice, roasted pork wraps, and many regional specialties. The rice is naturally gluten-free and non-GMO, making it a pantry staple for home cooks, restaurants, and food lovers who want genuine Thai flavor without additives.

What makes this Sanpatong sticky rice different from regular long-grain rice?

Sanpatong is a glutinous variety, which means it becomes sticky and cohesive when steamed rather than separate and fluffy like long-grain rice. That sticky, tender consistency is essential for recipes that require molded or handheld rice portions. The grain choice changes mouthfeel and how sauces cling to the rice.

• Glutinous variety that naturally clumps when steamed for easy eating.
• Slight natural sweetness characteristic of Thai sticky rice.
• Different starch profile than long-grain rice, giving chew and elasticity.
• Ideal for recipes that require packing, shaping, or dipping.

How should I prepare Fusion Select Sanpatong sticky rice for best results?

Traditional preparation involves rinsing, soaking, and steaming rather than boiling to preserve the delicate texture and prevent waterlogging. Soak the rice for several hours or overnight, then steam in a basket or rice steamer until translucent and tender. Lightly fluff with a paddle and serve warm for optimal stickiness.

• Rinse until water runs clear to remove excess starch and impurities.
• Soak 4–6 hours or overnight for even hydration and uniform steaming.
• Steam in a bamboo or metal basket over simmering water for 20–30 minutes.
• Serve warm; reheat by steaming to restore texture if needed.

What dishes pair best with this Thai sticky rice?

Sanpatong sticky rice pairs with both sweet and savory Thai classics. It’s the traditional choice for mango sticky rice and is commonly served alongside grilled or roasted meats, like northern Thai pork, where its chew and neutral sweetness balance bold flavors. It also works well in dumplings and rice-based snacks.

• Mango sticky rice, topped with coconut cream and sesame.
• Grilled or roasted pork, sticky rice balls, and skewered meats.
• Sticky rice snacks, steamed rice cakes, and certain dumplings.
• As a side to spicy curries—cool, chewable contrast to heat.

Who is this for? Home cooks who want authentic Thai texture and flavor, chefs seeking a reliable bulk supply, and anyone preparing traditional Southeast Asian desserts or street-food-style meals will appreciate this 10lb bag. It’s also practical for meal prep or restaurants that need consistent, non-GMO, gluten-free glutinous rice in larger quantities. Keep stored in a cool, dry place or refrigerated for longer shelf life if you don’t use it quickly.
