Cauliflower is one of the healthiest vegetables in the world. Still not convinced? Let us show you a few reasons why you should include this vegetable in your diet:
It prevents cancer - cauliflower contains sulforaphane, which reduces the growth of cancer stem cells and inhibits tumor development in the breast, prostate, colon and liver. It also contains compounds such as indole-3-carbinol that help in fighting cervical cancer.
Helps detoxification - Cauliflower has compounds such as glutathione that helps your body get rid of toxins from food and other sources of pollution more efficiently. It also enhances your metabolic functions to reduce any stress on your organs.

Simple Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe Video
This easy cauliflower fried rice recipe is a low carb, vegan, vegetarian and healthy dish that is super quick to make. You can easily prepare this cauliflower rice in 15 minutes or less. When I serve it for dinner I like to add some chicken breast or shrimp on top and make a complete meal out of it.
Cauliflower rice is made from riced cauliflower. You can buy it already riced or you can make it yourself. I prefer to make it myself because you can control the texture of the rice by grating it either coarse or fine. If you plan to buy riced cauliflower do not worry – many grocery stores now sell it pre-riced and ready to use. You can find it in the produce section usually next to other vegetables or you can find it in the frozen foods section as well.
