    I was surprised by how much I liked this. I like the texture of blitzed cauliflower raw, though the hubby prefers to zap in the microwave for 2 minutes. I usually use a half and half mixture with normal cooked white rice. I freeze in portions too. But do be careful with the container you use for freezing. I notice that the cauliflower can take on a plastic taste in some containers.

    I normally freeze it in a zip lock bag if I am not eating it same day.

    I make cauliflower rice all the time - but i do it a little differently: i add diced onion to the oil with the garlic, sauteing it until translucent and then additng the cauliflower - just a little different taste. I also buy green giant cauliflower crumbles and give them a whirl in my food processor - easier than the grater :)

    Does it hold it's shape, or does it get mushy? I also have a hard time breaking from white rice. Puerto Rican dishes use it frequently, it was a staple in our diet growing up. I would love to find a healthy alternative.

    It can be however you like it. If you like it to have more bite, then just cook it less. If you like mushy, cook it longer.
