If you are into healthy eating, then cauliflower is
for you. You may have already heard all the rave about cauliflower rice, or
mashed cauliflower, pizza bases made up of cauliflower and even cauliflower
flour. Its a versatile vegetable. And it cant be substituted by any other
veggie it seems.
One major reason behind all this hype about
cauliflower is that its low carb and got lesser calories. Like, a 100 gram of
cauliflower rice or mash got only 25 calories while cooked white rice got
140 calories for 100 gram. Also cauliflower keeps you full for hours, so you
wont feel hungry.

An easy way to get cauliflower rice is to cut off
the cauliflower’s head. That way you will get the mock cauliflower rice.
However, soon UK will have Cauliflower rice launched nationwide. Gem Misa would
be heading the initiative who has been a fan of cauliflower rice or Cauli-Rice
for a long time but found it a difficult task to accomplish with family and
especially little ones around.

Gem Misa says that the taste of Cauli-Rice is fine
and is just the same as that of rice. It got a shelf-life of 1 year. The other
alternative in the market is the cauliflower couscous by Tesco which is
presently available in the international food market, but it got a shelf-life
of only 2 days. Cauli-Rice needs to be just cooked in the microwave or stir
fried lightly and it would be ready to be consumed.
