1. Introduction to Aromatic Glutinous Rice

Aromatic Glutinous Rice (Gạo Nếp Hương) represents the pinnacle of Vietnamese specialty rice. Cultivated primarily in the northern mountainous regions and select fertile plains, this rice variety is celebrated for its unique, natural pandan-like fragrance and exceptional stickiness.

At Vinahugo, our Aromatic Glutinous Rice is harvested at peak maturity to ensure every grain retains its distinctive scent. Unlike standard sticky rice, Nếp Hương offers a more delicate, sweet flavor and a texture that remains soft and fragrant even long after cooking.
