Is cauliflower rice good?

[Anonymous]

I have never tried it but I like cauliflower.
I always see the raw shredded cauliflower at WF and wonder about it

I mostly eat the frozen cooked stuff. It’s a decent rice substitute, especially good with Indian or Thai food.

It's good to have in the freezer. It's easy to make. We use it as a vegetable, not rice substitute. Fried with butter and a massive amount of spices -- mmm.

Yes! We started using it after DH developed diabetes, but I don't consider it a hardship. I find it tasty!

I like the Asian style frozen cauliflower rice at TJ.

I like cauliflower but cauliflower rice tastes like a bowl of warm farts.

As a direct substitute for rice? No. It's awful.

As a substitute for rice in things that contain rice, it can be ok. In soups, stews, etc. It's a good filler for things. But it doesn't give a "rice" impression at all.

This is not incorrect. Also agree with PP that it's sometimes okay "in" things. This recipe comes to mind: skinnytaste.com/cauliflower-rice-chicken-biryani/

Also, TJ's has a Mexican cauliflower rice in the freezer section that's pretty good.

It's not really good most of the time. It's just passable.

I mix cauliflower rice and the real thing together to lighten it up...just add some frozen at the end of cooking the rice. Just cauliflower rice is just like eating cauliflower to me. It is fine...but it is not rice.

I’ve never been able to get the bitter taste out without adding a lot of (unhealthy) stuff to it.

It’s ok. I have used it to bulk up a meal like adding it to ground meat. But I prefer to use something like shredded cabbage instead - just tastes better to me.

Why are you all trying to use it like rice? It's called Cauliflower rice because it's RICED, not because it's a rice substitute. Do what you want with it, but of course it is a pour substitute for actual rice.
