Learn More →Red Yeast Rice is used extensively in Chinese cooking as a flavoring agent and food coloring for dishes such as tofu, Peking duck and Chinese spareribs. Also known as Hung-chu or Hong-Qu, red yeast rice is manufactured by fermenting rice with a strain of yeast called Monascus purpureus. Red yeast rice has been revered for its health-enhancing properties for over two thousand years – records dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) describe red yeast’s role in promoting a healthy cardiovascular system by improving blood circulation and reducing clotting. Modern research reveals that red yeast rice contains number of compounds that act as natural HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, similar to the cholesterol-lowering ingredient found in pharmaceutical statin drugs. Researchers also identified a number of naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids that appear to promote healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels while increasing HDL.
