Cauliflower is a nutritious cruciferous vegetable. And so, eating cauliflower rice isn’t just low-carb but also healthy. It’s light, low-carb, nutritious, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and easy. Cruciferous vegetables contain compounds called isothiocyanates tiny molecules with promising anti-cancer effects.
