Fragrant Glutinous Rice
Fragrant Glutinous Rice
Shangsi County’s fragrant glutinous rice has a long planting history. It is an excellent variety formed under specific climatic, soil, and cultivation management conditions through long-term careful breeding by farmers. The rice is of pure quality, with relatively large, jade-white grains. When steamed into cooked rice, it is soft, smooth, sticky, and fragrant. There is a saying: “One field planted with glutinous rice perfumes the whole area; one household cooking it fills the whole village with aroma.” It is a top-quality ingredient used locally during festivals and holidays to make zongzi, New Year cakes, sweet dumplings, or mung bean glutinous rice dishes. Shangsi fragrant glutinous rice is renowned for its distinctive fragrance, enjoying great popularity among customers both inside and outside the region. However, attempts to grow it elsewhere have all failed to preserve its unique aroma. Therefore, especially as the Spring Festival approaches, there is significant demand from outside the area to purchase Shangsi fragrant glutinous rice.
