It’s not rice and vegetables. It’s ”riced” vegetables. If eating more vegetables is on your list of 2017 resolutions, eating them in a “riced” version can make those veggies more exciting.

“Ricing” refers to vegetables cut up into small pieces about the size of rice. Cauliflower has gotten the most attention, but other veggies are getting in on the trend. Years ago, the South Beach Diet included a recipe for mashed cauliflower to take the place of mashed potatoes. The new kid on the block is riced cauliflower. The color is similar to rice and can be cut to look like rice. Some say it has a similar taste to rice, but use your own taste buds to figure this out. For bariatrics patients, riced cauliflower doesn’t have the type of carbohydrate that can swell in your stomach pouch, like regular rice does. Once you can add vegetables back to your food choices, you’ve now got a vegetable choice that can be seasoned many ways. Click here for a Riced Cauliflower recipe from www.whatscookingamerica.net, which also includes several flavor options. For an easier version, Green Giant and Birds’ Eye already have riced cauliflower and other riced vegetables in the freezer section. You’ll be able to whip up a vegetable side dish in a jiffy! Pizza crust recipes with riced cauliflower have also been enjoyed by our patients for several years. Yum! You now have a trendy, fun and tasty way to eat your veggies. Enjoy!

Thanks for the information that riced califlower and other riced veggies are available in the frozen section of the market!

I don't particularly like cauliflower, but with strong- flavored sauces (e.g. curry, gochuchang), riced cauliflower is tasty and satisfying.

Thanks I was just wondering that when I saw the commercial and I forgot to google it .

My mom takes pieces of cauliflower and brushes them with a little olive oil and fresh garlic she bakes it for a little to brown it and she says it's wonderful.

That is my favorite way to cook it, it gives it a real nice nutty, earthy flavor!

I LOVE riced caulflower. We make a killer PORK FRIED RICE which I couldnny more so we did it with the caulflower. IT IS DELISH!!!! Even my hubby said it worked for him and he is a all time rice kind of guy!! I am so glad he is on board with it. It makes it so much easier to both eat the same thing. Great stuff

I have tried these and do enjoy them. I was wondering about the Cauliflower Tots I have seen in the stores. Are they good for us as well? Has anyone tried them? How do they taste and do you use any kind of a sauce with them?
