Cauliflower Rice Health Benefits
Cauliflower rice is all the rage right now, and for good reason.
Because if you’re looking for a healthier alternative that still feels like comfort food, cauliflower rice is the way to go.
Here are just a few health benefits of cauliflower that will make you add this superfood to your diet:
High in choline – Cauliflower is a great source of choline, an essential nutrient we need for mood and memory. This means cauliflowers do their part in providing the brain with nutrients necessary to develop properly!
Rich in Sulforaphane – As with broccoli and cabbage, cauliflower also contains sulforaphane. Sulforaphane protects cells from DNA damage as well as inactivating carcinogens – meaning it helps prevent cancer!
