The key to cauliflower like rice, is in the size and the cooking method.
What is Cauliflower Rice?
It’s simply cauliflower pulsed in a food processor until it forms into granules that are about the size of rice.
How long does cauliflower rice last?
Raw Cauliflower Rice
We find that if you turn cauliflower into cauliflower rice and leave it in the fridge for a few days, it develops a strong and unpleasant sulfur smell. So its best to use it right away or freeze it.
Cooked Cauliflower Rice
Cooking cauliflower rice prevents it from developing a funky smell as quickly. Cooked cauliflower rice keeps for approximately 4 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
Cutting Methods:
Firstly, cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets. Then you can place it into your food processor or a mixie jar or use a garter. Blend the cauliflower using the pulse setting mode. Continue to pulse until it resembles rice. If there are any large pieces, remove them and blend them separately.
