Eat This, Not That: Cauliflower Rice

Rice is a staple in many households around the world and is an easy and delicious grain to add to any meal. However, rice can be high in calories and carbohydrates, meaning it will fill you up without providing you with many additional nutrients. Substituting cauliflower rice for white rice is a great way to get more antioxidants while reducing calories and carbohydrates in order to save room for other nutrient dense foods.
