Here is a great alternative to rice and it tastes wonderful. With all my intolerance for certain foods I have also steered away from grains. I find the best substitute for rice, sushi etc is either cauliflower, parsnips or quinoa. Cauliflower is the closest you can get, and all it requires is a quick blend in a food processor or blender. It can be eaten either raw or dry fried to remove some of the moisture. Serve it with some tempeh for a burrito bowl!
Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that packs a wallop of health benefits as well as being a great substitution for heavier veggies such as potato. This nutrition packed flowering vegetable is a great source of Vitamin C, and manganese, both of which are powerful antioxidants. It also contains carotenoids, reducing the risks of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. It contains detoxifying properties, helping to support the liver's abilities to neutralize toxins, and is a great digestive support, being rich in dietary fiber while helping to lower cholesterol levels.
