Why Cauliflower Rice is a Keto Staple
Cauliflower rice is low in calories and carbohydrates but high in fiber and essential vitamins like C and K. It supports digestive health and can easily absorb flavor from herbs and spices. The lime juice in this recipe not only brightens the dish but adds vitamin C for immune support. Learn more about cauliflower’s benefits from this Medical News Today article.
