Is cauliflower rice healthy?

Cauliflower is good for you, and it's delicious. Cauliflower may be considered a superfood because it is a cruciferous vegetable, making it a highly nutrient-dense food. It's high in fiber, potassium, Vitamins C and B6. As a cruciferous vegetable, it provides antioxidants and phytochemicals that can help protect our bodies against diseases like cancer. In addition, cauliflower is low in calories. The cauliflower nutrition facts for this recipe estimates that each serving is only 35 calories, which could help with weight loss.

Does cauliflower taste like rice?

Yes, we think so. If you're not careful, you may be fooled. Cauliflower rice mimics the texture, feel, and look of rice but has a unique taste of its own. However, you can barely taste the difference, so cauliflower rice is such a great alternative to rice. Cauliflower rice takes on the seasoning flavor, making it a very versatile dish.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 large cauliflower (or 1 small head)

1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

A food processor is golden!

Start with a clean and dry small head of cauliflower (or half of a large head).
Chop your cauliflower head into large chunks, so it fits into a food processor. Use the pulse feature to process keeping an eye on clumping and scraping down the sides as necessary. Be careful not to over-process as the rice will get too mushy. If you don't have a food processor, use a sharp knife to mince your cauliflower head.
Preheat a large (preferably non-stick) skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice to the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often. Turn off heat. While the cauliflower rice is still warm, add fresh finely chopped cilantro and the juice from 1/2 a lime (or 1 Tbsp of fresh squeezed lime juice), and enjoy!
