Rice takes time to cook to make it edible and soft. This is due to the grain’s resistance to heat. Cauliflower is different, as it needs less time to cook, and succumbs to the heat much faster than rice.

Rice turns into carbohydrates, and the body uses them (among other things) to create fat. Of course, this is a process you should try to avoid if you are trying to take care of yourself, even if you exercise a lot.

Thus,  Mexican cauliflower rice is a great alternative for you and can be used as a side dish to other foods. It brings out the rich flavors of Mexican culture.
