Glutinous corn

Glutinous corn

　　The nutrient content in glutinous corn kernels is higher than that in ordinary corn, containing 70–75% starch, over 10% protein, 4–5% fat, and 2% various vitamins. The kernels have more protein, vitamin A, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2 than rice, with the highest levels of fat and vitamin B2. Yellow glutinous corn also contains vitamin A (carotene), which is lacking in crops like rice and wheat. The genetic function of the wx gene in glutinous corn changes the type and properties of the starch in its endosperm. The molecular weight of glutinous corn starch is more than ten times smaller than that of ordinary corn, and its digestibility is over 20% higher when consumed.

　　Xincheng County in Guangxi is known as a “mountainous region with nine parts stone and one part soil.” Its mountainous land is fertile, the climate is mild, rainfall is abundant, and there is no pollution. The natural conditions—such as terrain, soil, and climate—have created pearl glutinous corn with exceptional taste and quality, often described as “corn that grows between the rocks.” The Dashi Mountain brand pearl glutinous corn features small, round, milky-white kernels with strong stickiness. It is rich in protein, lysine, and various mineral elements such as iron and magnesium. Once cooked, the grains are tightly packed and plump, with thin skins and tender, glutinous texture. There’s no gritty feeling when eating it—the taste is sweet, smooth, and crystal-clear.
