    What is Cauliflower Rice?

    Cauliflower rice is exactly what you think it is! It's a substitute for traditional rice made from cauliflower. It has no distinct flavor, which makes it the perfect addition to any dish. Plus it has a fluffier texture then traditional rice, making it a little more similar to risotto or couscous. And it's much healthier, with just 25 calories per cup compared to over 200 calories per cup for white or brown rice. 

    Cauliflower rice can be bought commercially at your local grocery store, or you can easily make it at home. Simply take a large cauliflower head and using a food processor pulse the cauliflower until it's in small pieces resembling rice. Then sauté the cauliflower for a few minutes until it's soft. Voila!
