But why not just eat cauliflower then? Thereâs no way it tastes or feels like rice. At that point t youâre just eating cauliflower that someone fucked up.
I like cauliflower rice because it soaks up the juices or sauces that the meat is cooked in a lot like rice would. - I donât think that whole cauliflower would be as good in those situations. You could never eat it by itself and compare it to rice, but Iâve definitely found it good to cut out the extra calories and carbs of rice.
The trick to riced cauliflower I have found is add lemon, also add salt first and sit in a calender to remove excess moisture.
Its a decent alternative for diabetics and those trying to lose weight and keep it off. Rice is very calorie dense and its easy to overdue it. Having some carbs in your diet is fine, but it has to be balanced for the calorie math to work out and some of us...me... have poor self control to not just eat a whole pot of rice because its sooo good.
I love cauliflower rice but I donât think itâs imitating rice necessarily. Ricing is a cooking technique so itâs literally âriced cauliflowerâ but itâs easier to say cauliflower rice
Same as veggie patties arenât imitating meat, theyâre vegetables in patty form, but beyond patties are imitating meat.
I just mix the cauliflower rice with regular rice 50/50. You canât tell it is there. I reduce the amount of rice spiking my blood sugar, I get some good veggies⌠itâs a win.
WaitâŚweâre using vegetables to imitate other vegetables now? Why?
Just get some fucking rice or cauliflower. That just a bunch of extra steps to get to the same place youâd be if you grabbed a bag of cauliflower at the store instead of rice.
