Red Yeast Rice is a natural product that has been used by traditional Asian herbalists since approximately 800 AD.
Produced by fermenting Red Yeast (Monascus purpureus) with white rice, Red Yeast Rice is commonly used in cooking applications to improve the color and flavor of foods.
Peking Duck is an example of the coloration and flavor that Red Yeast Rice gives it.
Red Yeast Rice is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, an unwanted byproduct of the fermentation process.
