Bora Rice: The Sticky Glutinous Rice of Assam

#### **Introduction to Bora Rice**
Bora rice is a **glutinous (sticky) rice variety** native to Assam, widely used in traditional Assamese cuisine. Known for its **chewy texture and naturally sweet flavor**, it is a key ingredient in many Assamese delicacies, particularly during **Bihu festivals and other cultural celebrations**. This rice is rich in starch, which gives it its signature stickiness when cooked.

– **Short-Grain & Opaque Appearance** – The grains are round, plump, and slightly opaque compared to regular rice.
– **Gluten-Free & Nutrient-Rich** – Despite being called “glutinous,” it contains no gluten, making it a great alternative for gluten-free diets.
