Benefits

- !Commercially prepared cauliflower mash or 'rice' may contain added salt or oil - check the label
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends 'cauliflower rice' (grated cauliflower cooked in a pan) as a high-volume substitute for regular rice - the same feeling of fullness, at a fraction of the carbs. Ideal for those who want to cut caloric portions without feeling like they are eating less.
