Replace Normal Rice with Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower is low in calories and high in fiber—one cup of boiled cauliflower contains just 28 calories and 10 percent of the daily recommended value of fiber. A diet rich in fiber promotes healthy digestion, weight loss and lowers cholesterol levels. The cruciferous vegetable is also loaded with antioxidants that may reduce inflammation and protect against several diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. It can’t get healthier than that, right? Well, that depends on who you ask. While riced cauliflower is great for people looking to keep their daily calorie intake low and fiber intake high, it’s not necessarily always the best option. Plain old rice has many nutritional benefits, as well.
