Red yeast rice is a traditional Chinese food made by fermenting rice with a specific yeast, and it gives the product its deep red color. Edmark Red Yeast Coffee combines it with an organic blend of imported coffee beans, producing a bold, full-bodied cup.
What makes it different
Red yeast rice naturally contains monacolin K, a compound that is well known in the field of heart-health nutrition. The blend also brings fiber, plant sterols, fatty acids, and antioxidant flavonoids and polyphenols. The result is a coffee that is positioned for people who want a heart-conscious daily habit.
An important note about monacolin K
Monacolin K is chemically identical to a compound found in some prescription cholesterol medicines. That is a good reason to be thoughtful:
- If you already take a statin or other cholesterol medicine, talk to your doctor before adding red yeast rice products.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have liver problems, skip it unless your doctor says otherwise.
- A coffee is never a substitute for medical care, healthy eating and exercise.
How to enjoy it
For a cup, dissolve one sachet in hot water and stir. It has a deep, complex flavor that works well as a mid-morning coffee break, and it is an interesting alternative for people who are bored of standard instant coffee.
