non-glutinous

Won't cling together

Non-glutinous describes rice varieties that don't become sticky when cooked.

The grains remain separate and fluffy rather than clumping together.

Long-grain rice like jasmine or basmati is typically non-glutinous: Non-glutinous rice works better for pilafs and fried rice.

The term distinguishes ordinary rice from sticky or sweet rice used in Asian desserts and sushi.
