Ginger-Garlic Cauliflower Rice

This Asian-inspired Ginger-Garlic Cauliflower Rice has a mild enough flavor that it won’t compete with other flavors on your plate (so you can serve it with any variety of meats and vegetables), but all of a sudden, it isn’t just boring filler. The reason? This recipe uses fresh ginger and garlic. Cauliflower rice is great way to get an extra serving of vegetables on your plate.

Featured Ingredients

Cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, the members of which have been linked to numerous health benefits, including lower risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Ginger is an absolute rockstar when it comes to boosting our health. While it’s most famous for treating nausea and other gastrointestinal problems, ginger has also been found to have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, lung-protective, anti-pain, and antimicrobial properties across a wide body of scientific research!  All these benefits are related to its high concentration of phenolic compounds.

Garlic is the top food source of thiosulfinates, which are sulfur-containing compounds responsible for diverse health benefits including powerful anticancer properties as well as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-thrombotic effects.
