What You Will Need

Making vs. Buying Cauliflower Rice
- Personally, I think the best way to enjoy cauliflower rice is to make my own homemade cauliflower rice by grating a head of fresh cauliflower. For me this just results in a more rice-like texture.
- Yes, you can definitely buy cauliflower rice! Most grocery stores now carry cauliflower rice or “riced cauliflower” – it also comes frozen! Just check with your store!
