About Pulut hitam

Pulut Hitam, also known as black glutinous rice dessert, is a Southeast Asian sweet dish originating from Malaysia and Indonesia. It features black glutinous rice, coconut milk, and palm sugar, creating a creamy, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor.

This dessert is gluten-free and offers a substantial amount of dietary fiber, making it both a comforting treat and a source of slow-digesting carbohydrates. Traditionally enjoyed warm, Pulut Hitam is often served during special occasions and festivities, showcasing the cultural importance of rice in Southeast Asian cuisine.
