Glutinous Rice Flour is a finely milled flour made from glutinous rice — a naturally sticky variety of rice. The key differences from regular wheat flour are that it contains absolutely no gluten, and that it produces a very chewy, elastic texture when cooked. That distinctive chewiness found in mochi ice cream or tangyuan (汤圆) across Europe comes precisely from this flour. It serves a different purpose from bread or cake flour, and is used primarily for rice cakes, dumplings, chewy desserts, and frying batters.

No, this product contains absolutely no gluten. This is a very common misconception. The English word "glutinous" does not mean "containing gluten" — it means "sticky." Cock Glutinous Rice Flour is made from 100% glutinous rice, and rice is naturally a gluten-free grain. This product is therefore suitable for a gluten-free diet. However, for concerns about cross-contamination at the production facility, we recommend contacting the manufacturer directly.

Yes, it is. Cock Glutinous Rice Flour is a pure plant-based product made from 100% glutinous rice, containing no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever. It is therefore suitable for both vegan and vegetarian diets. This product also carries halal certification. It is equally suitable for those following a gluten-free diet, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of dietary requirements.

Glutinous rice flour is extremely versatile. Here are some popular uses: ① Mochi — Japanese-style chewy rice cakes that can be filled with Nutella, jam, or red bean paste. ② Gluten-free doughnuts or fritters — batter made with glutinous rice flour fries up crispy yet chewy. ③ Coconut milk dumplings — mixed with coconut milk, shaped into balls, and boiled for a Southeast Asian-style dessert. ④ Gluten-free pancakes — substituting glutinous rice flour for regular flour gives pancakes a pleasantly chewy texture. It pairs beautifully with ingredients readily available in European supermarkets, such as coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, and fresh fruit.

After opening, transfer to a resealable container or zip-lock bag to prevent moisture ingress, and keep in a cool location or refrigerate if possible. Flour products can clump or deteriorate when exposed to humidity, so please take care. Always check the date printed on the product packaging for the exact best-before date. In accordance with EU Regulation 1169/2011, the physical packaging label is the authoritative source for nutritional and product information.
