Cauliflower Rice

The benefits of making a cauliflower rice vs. real rice is the calories saved. 1 cup of cauliflower has 30 calories and 2 grams of fiber vs. 210 calories and 0.5g fiber in white rice. Brown rice will have 3.5g of fiber, however, the calories are 7 times more than cauliflower, and with cauliflower, you can eat 2 cups and get the same amount of fiber as brown rice. I don't know about you, but if I am able to not think about portioning my "rice" and get to eat 2 cups, I'm into it! 

There are different varieties including orange, green and purple! Cauliflower is a great source of vitamin C and folate along with several phytochemicals. Boiling reduces the levels of these compounds, with losses of 20–30% after five minutes, 40–50% after ten minutes, and 75% after thirty minutes. Good thing we have Saladmaster to keep the nutrition!
