Cauliflower Rice: A Delicious Grain Substitute

April 25, 2016 • By

Cauliflower RiceI typically don’t get too excited about food trends but this one is different. I’m honestly not sure how long this “trend” has been around but it’s semi-new to me and I’m in love. Lately, cauliflower rice has been served with just about every other dinner at house and I have received zero complaints, even the kids love it. 

My favorite part about this vegetable-turned-grain-substitute is it’s versatility. Since it’s being treated as a rice, it can be used just the same but in more ways because it’s a vegetable. Use it as the base of bowl, throw it into an egg scramble, top a salad with it… I could keep going.
 
Not only is is versatile but it’s a vegetable that can be treated like a grain. Grains are great, don’t get me wrong, but some of them come with a downside. Rice is a carb and lots of low carb eaters don’t get to enjoy it for that reason. BUT with cauliflower rice healthy eaters get all of the benefits of cauliflower with the meal choices of rice. Genius.
