Cauliflower Fried Rice?

My sweet friend Brooke introduced me to the delicious concept of Cauliflower Fried Rice. I personally hate Cauliflower. My mom used to love eating it raw with a little dipping sauce and I never understood the draw of this smelly vegetable. However, one thing I love is fried rice! I was skeptical that this cauliflower concoction would have the potential to taste as good as some traditional fried rice but man was I surprised! The consistency of the cauliflower is obviously different than a hearty rice but you get the same general flavor and it is delicious, my husband has even requested it multiple times since we discovered the recipe.

Discovering  a way to make a super veggie the main focus of any meal is always exciting around here so I'm anxious to share this recipe with you. Here are some health facts about this powerful little veggie:

• It contains good amounts of many vital B-complex groups of vitamins such as folates, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and thiamin (vitamin B1), niacin (B3) as well as vitamin K. These vitamins is essential in the sense that body requires them from external sources to replenish and required for fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.

• It is very low in calories. 100 g of the fresh cauliflower head provides only 26 calories. Nevertheless, it comprises of several health-benefiting antioxidants and vitamins in addition to be very low in fat and contains no cholesterol.
  
• Its florets contain about 2 g of dietary fiber per 100 g; providing about 5% of recommended value.
  
• Cauliflower contains several anti-cancer phyto-chemicals like sulforaphane and plant sterols such asindole-3-carbinol, which appears to function as an anti-estrogen agent. Together these compounds have proven benefits against prostate, breast, cervical, colon, ovarian cancers by virtue of their cancer-cell growth inhibition, cytotoxic effects on cancer cells.
