About Red yeast rice
Red yeast rice is a traditional fermented food originating from China and widely used in East Asian cuisine for centuries. Made by cultivating yeast, typically Monascus purpureus, on white rice, it develops its distinctive reddish color and mild, earthy flavor. Rich in monacolins, a natural compound, red yeast rice has long been valued for its ability to support heart health by helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels. It also contains plant sterols, isoflavones, and essential fatty acids that contribute to its nutritional benefits. While it is often used as a natural food coloring or flavor enhancer, many turn to red yeast rice in supplement form for its potential medicinal properties. However, some varieties may contain citrinin, a mycotoxin linked to kidney damage, so quality control is important. Individuals should consult healthcare professionals before use, especially if taking cholesterol-lowering medications or managing underlying health conditions.
