Think regular white rice, but higher volume, higher fiber, and overall, more food for less calories and carbs. The best part is, you can’t even tell!
When I first started balancing my meals I thought I had to cut out rice and only eat plain cauliflower rice, but the truth was, I just didn’t like cauliflower as my rice and I was not satisfied after eating it. I like white rice and I wanted to eat it.
I’m also a volume eater and enjoy a slightly larger portion of rice than just a half cup sometimes. Sooo, putting into practice my “practical balance” motto, I thought, it has to work with rice too, right?! And thus, cauliflower rice fluff was born.
When you cook the cauliflower rice with white rice, the starches from the rice mesh seamlessly with the cauliflower to create the perfect rice filled with cauliflower, and no, you can’t taste it or feel it.
