Introduction to Red Glutinous Rice Wine
Red glutinous rice wine is a traditional beverage with deep roots in Asian culinary heritage. Crafted from glutinous rice, water, and yeast, it boasts a unique flavor profile and numerous health benefits.
Fermentation Process and Origins
Red glutinous rice wine is produced through fermentation. Glutinous rice is mixed with water and yeast, then left to ferment in a controlled environment. To get the deep red flavour, red rice lees or red yeast rice is added. This all-natural fermentation process unlocks the rich flavors and nutritional properties of the rice, resulting in a tangy and aromatic beverage.
Nutritional Benefits
Red glutinous rice wine is not only revered for its taste but also valued for its health benefits. Because it is produced through fermentation, it is a natural probiotic, and is rich in antioxidants and vitamins. At Ye Traditions, no sugar or salt is added, and the wine is all-natural, making it popular among health-conscious families. It is also known for confinements - "Confinement Wine" or "Postnatal Wine", as it is often consumed during the postpartum period to aid in recovery and provide nourishment to new mothers.
