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.

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

    Most likely because the cauliflower has been riced (pushed through small holes), not crumbled.

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

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

  • I tried cauliflower rice once, it was rank....

    Season it, throw some peas and onions in the mix too

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

    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.

    @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.

    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.

    does this item freeze/thaw well or does the texture change after freezing?

    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.

    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!
