Low-Carb Rice at Home

Cauliflower is fairly neutral in flavor, particularly when you add other flavors and seasonings to it. If you’re unable to find riced cauliflower at your local store, it’s quite easy to make at home. Simply take a head of cauliflower, chop it up into bits, and run it through the food processor until well-chopped. You can steam up these little bits as a low-carb rice substitute.
