Red yeast rice (ang-kak), also known as koji in Japanese, is bright reddish purple fermented rice. It acquires the reddish color naturally from being cultivated with the mold Monascus purpureus.

It lends a subtle pleasant taste to food. In addition to its culinary use, red yeast rice is also used in traditional Chinese Medicine, to invigorate the body, aid in digestion, and revitalize blood circulation.

Review: Best Food for Brine Shrimp - This is the best food for brine shrimp by far. I added some to a bottle with water, shook it, and served. Some of the rice fell in the tank, but the shrimp aren't dieing because of too much food, so that makes it even better.
Review: One Star - It is not what I thought..
