Cauliflower Rice

Rice is one of the most staple food item for most of the people in this world. Especially for me, I used to love eating rice in lunch as well as dinner. Rice serves as a perfect complement for any spicy curry or sauce. Unfortunately rice is not a very healthy option for weight loss. It is full of starch and carbohydrates. Hence the biggest challenge I faced when I started clean eating was giving up my daily rice. But thanks to this simple cauliflower rice recipe, I haven’t eaten rice for last 9 months.
Cauliflower Rice is one the best alternatives to regular rice or even brown rice as it is rich in vitamin C, Fiber and also works as anti-oxidant. I use cauliflower rice as rice substitute for curries as well as for rice based dishes like Biryani, Nasi Goreng, Fried Rice etc.

Why is it not called cauliflower crumbs?3

I made cauliflower fried rice and it was quite tasty. Never tried the cauliflower pizza crust though4

Most likely because the cauliflower has been riced (pushed through small holes), not crumbled.4 -
I tried cauliflower rice once, it was rank....5

Right. It's really riced cauliflower.
It's great stuff. Very versatile.0 -

Agreed. I love it!0 -
I love cauliflower rice eat it all the time!0

A fabulous food! I also love to roast and purée vegetables for a sauce with the riced cauliflower. Very filling and low on calories.1

And now Green Giant makes several different versions of riced cauliflower you can get in the freezer section. Super convenient!6

I love cauliflower rice too.

Very True. I guess the major reason is that it has to have that fake rice look...1 -

The package states this is chopped cauliflower rather than riced. I don't know what difference that makes, but I'd bet there is a slightly different texture.2 -
Oh am a fan of cauliflower rice.0

@lorrpb it is slightly different, but not much. I rice my cauliflower with a box grater for the best texture, but I buy this one occasionally when I'm lazy.2

I love mashed garlic cauliflower and there are some good recipes online for cauliflower crust pizza. The trick to a good cauliflower crust is to make sure the riced cauliflower is really dry--squeeze out as much water as possible.
A great trick my health coach taught me is to add a small cooked Yukon gold potato with the mashed cauliflower so you can still get some of the potato taste. Cauliflower has a strong flavor and for those who want to mask the flavor it helps. If carbs are an issue, leave out the potato but it does taste more like mashed potatoes when you add a small potato (and reduces the carbs).5 -

The crumbles are great for mashed Cauliflower but I think they are too big for rice. I have bought this brand before but only to make mashed.2 -
bird's eye makes califlower rice, it rocks. 20 calories and 4 carbs!2

I've not tried the Green Giant Cauliflower Crumbles, but I've had both frozen riced cauliflower and fresh and didn't notice any significant difference between the two.1 -
Even I have freezed cauliflower rice many times. Its thaws quite well0
-
I freeze my homemade or store bought cauliflower rice - raw if I plan to cook it to serve - or seasoned and cooked in part of meal prep. Both are fine!
