Grin, Wiki can be strange. There is no confusion though on what the item
is.

Wild definition there! Not true.
Cyercat made accidental (and hard to do) 'sticky rice' out of Jasmine long

Most sticky rices are medium grain, but short grain is also used. You have
to go west to India to see long grain 'prized'.
