According to phone calls, it's not available @ Whole F, nor at my local natural foods store. Tue Nov 03 09:10:24 -0800 2009 1121383 Lucasmom 1 5152049 Surprised Whole Foods doesn't carry it. "Sweet rice" is another common label. I get mine at Asian supermarkets like C-Mart and Hong Kong Supermarket. H-Mart in Burlington will certainly have it. http://mcslimjb.blogspot.com/ Tue Nov 03 09:18:33 -0800 2009 5152015 10143 MC Slim JB 1 5152190 Is it safe to assume that you are looking for Chinese-style white sticky rice? There are other varieties, such as Thai white. I have also seen brown and even black sticky rice, though the last one only recently at H-Mart. If it is Chinese white sticky rice you are seeking, you will find it at any Chinese-centric supermarket (also highly likely at Vietnamese and Thai-centric, but look out for the Thai sticky rice, which is somewhat different). Oh, and at H-Mart, which has more varieties of rice than I have seen anywhere else. Tue Nov 03 09:56:19 -0800 2009 5152015 177209 PinchOfSalt 2 5152428 Thanks for the suggestions. Probably can't make it to H-Mart today, but will try to get up there on the weekend. Lots of mangoes in the kitchen made me want to make Thai Sticky Rice w Mangoes for dessert tonight. I'll have to improvise! Tue Nov 03 11:02:27 -0800 2009 5152190 1121383 Lucasmom 3 5152620 What towns are easy for you to get to in the burbs? Most markets have it labeled as Sweet Rice. I know of places in Chelmsford, Littleton, Lowell, Burlington, Acton... Tue Nov 03 12:01:48 -0800 2009 5152428 10597 hargau 4 5154383 Where in Acton, for instance, or Littleton? Thanks, hargau!

Its called New Oriental Supermarket and is 476 King St I have bought it there before but you might want to call and confirm they have it first. In Acton (actually west acton) there is a small market, cant recall the name but its right in front of the Commuter rail station on rt 27. Again i would call and confirm they have it as its a small place. Id try the littleton one 1st, much larger place. Wed Nov 04 05:10:44 -0800 2009 5154383 10597 hargau
