Most products generally speak of "  red yeast rice " but it is actually a red rice yeast. 
This yeast ( Monascus purpureus ) is grown on rice, it contains a pigment with a pronounced red hue. So yeast is red and not rice. 
In Asia, red yeast rice is primarily a food product, it is used as a colorant or as a flavor enhancer in various food preparations such as sauces, fish mousses, rice wine, red tofu, pickled vegetables, salted meats, etc.
Anecdote: Red yeast rice has been present in the Chinese pharmacopoeia since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it was called "long life rice". The active ingredient of rice yeast is monacolin K.

Rice, the source of this substance, is the subject of intensive cultivation worldwide and especially in China, it is wise to choose a yeast red rice from organic farming.
