Jeollanam-do's Best Rice Grower 

[Kang Dae In] Organic Glutinous Rice (2 Types)

---

Kang Dae In is one of Korea’s most respected organic rice farmers.

Since 1977, he has cultivated rice the traditional way—without herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers. His farming is 100% organic. Instead of chemicals, he enriches the soil with natural compost made from rice husks, fruits, vegetables, garlic, and herbs.

For nearly five decades, his mission has been to build a sustainable model of organic farming. Over time, his rice has earned a reputation as some of the finest in Jeollanam-do Province.

Today, we’re proud to present Kang Dae In’s Organic Glutinous Rice, available in two varieties:

• Glutinous White Rice (찹쌀) – Soft, chewy, and mildly sweet. When cooked, the grains turn very sticky with a melt-in-the-mouth texture. In Korea, it’s often used for rice cakes (떡), sweet rice with nuts & jujubes (약밥), or blended with other grains to add softness.

• Glutinous Brown Rice (찰현미) – Only the husk is removed during milling, so the germ and bran remain intact for higher nutrition. It also turns sticky, soft, and chewy when cooked—though less so than the white variety.

How is glutinous rice made?

It isn’t made—it’s simply a natural variety of rice. Glutinous rice has a unique starch structure, rich in amylopectin. When cooked, the starch gelatinizes, giving it its signature sticky, chewy texture.

Despite the name “glutinous,” it contains no gluten.

Each variety is available in 1kg bags.
