Did you know that cauliflower has been tipped to be the next ‘it’ vegetable for 2015? Well, we could have told you that! We’ve been making recipes with cauliflower for ages… cauliflower pizza, cauliflower pita bread, roast cauliflower, cauliflower salads and of course cauliflower rice! We’ve remade our Paleo Fried Cauli Rice because we wanted a pretty new photo and we just wanted to eat it again… seriously DROOL WORTHY! Not only delicious, cauliflower has some super powers which we’re sure will inspire you to whiz up this Paleo Fried Cauli Rice even more!
Why is cauliflower good for me?
- helps the body to detox toxins.
- contains a heap of antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients! Including Vitamin C, K, B6, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, fibre, folate, potassium, and manganese. Yes. A LOT of good things! You should eat it!
- cauliflower is a great source of choline! Choline is a B Vitamin and promotes brain development… yes! Cauliflower not only LOOKS like a brain… but HELPS your brain too!
- cauliflower improves blood pressure and kidney function because of the sulforaphane (long word!).
- cauliflower is anti-inflammatory! Boom! YAY! Eat it!
What are you waiting for? Go and grab a cauliflower and make a batch of our Paleo Fried Cauli Rice! You are seriously going to LOVE it!
Always merrymaking,
