Red Yeast Rice has been a staple in traditional Asian herbal practices since around 800 A.D. It is created by fermenting red yeast (Monascus purpureus) with white rice. Traditionally used to enhance the flavor and red hue of foods—such as in the preparation of Peking Duck— this natural ingredient remains popular in both culinary and nutritional contexts.

NOW® Red Yeast Rice is produced using a controlled fermentation process to ensure it is free from citrinin, an undesirable by-product often found in improperly fermented red yeast rice.
