Cauliflower Rice

​Cauliflower seems to be pretty popular these days! From making pizza crust, buffalo wings, "rice" and eating it raw or cooked, cauliflower is pretty versatile. A cousin of broccoli, cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous group of vegetables.

​It contains a healthy range of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants that are beneficial for our overall health.  These nutrients include vitamins C, K and B6, omega 3, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, folate, pantothenic acid, potassium, and manganese. Health benefits of cauliflower also include healthy digestion. A typical serving of cauliflower provides over 3 grams of dietary fiber, which is essential to maintain a healthy digestive system. It is low in calories so it makes for great vegetable to eat when dieting.
