Nature's Earthly Choice Cauliflower Rice - 6 Pouches (6 x 8.5 ounces)

Ordered 10/13/2021, received 10/14/21, 4 days prior to expected date. 😃 Outer & inner boxes undamaged, packets of food undamaged. I took pics but trouble uploading them. Only on one of the two I bought, a very minor thing, the inner boxes containing the individual pouches of the product didn’t have the “good-till” date printed on it, but the other did, however, when I opened the product boxes, all the pouches (6 pouches per box, I ordered two for 12 total pouches) ALL had the “good-till” date on them, and all expiring a long time from now, next year.This was an Overstock product shipped by Amazon for free shipping under their spend so much (?25?, ?35?) to get free shipping policy.Now for the product: I first tried this product from Costco, picked it up in store. They don’t carry it there in my store now, or are out. This is a kind of bland food naturally, cauliflower, but this is extremely easy to dress up to be quite enjoyable, to me, delicious & healthy. Its very fast if you have a microwave, I have never cooked it any other way.Today I sent a glowing review to Overstock to tell them what a wonderful product I feel this is. I hope they continue to carry it. Certainly I must not be the only person who wants to eat on a low calorie (20/cup or 60 per container packet), low carb (4gm/11gm) fiber (2gm/5gm), negating the total sugars perfectly, & already included in carbs, of 2gm/5gm), NO saturated fat, no total fat in a cup serving, & only 0.5gm in the whole package! I always eat the whole package of supposedly 3-one cup servings, because, hay, why the heck not???My BEST very low cal, grab & prepare SUPER-QUICK, (cause the hangries are encroaching) meal is a full packet of Natures Earthly Choice Riced Cauliflower, rip open the pouch, nuke, dump in a micro safe bowl, top with a drained can of diced tomatoes with green chillis, store brand ($.30 cheaper than Brand name at Walmart), nuke till hot, then eat your delicious 120 calorie, 23 gm carb, 9 gm fiber, satisfying lunch or dinner. I use this for those numbers reasons cause I often have insulin on board & drop, & need to eat fast, & don’t want to grab bread or a burger or anything that’s going to hurt me, (but if you don’t know your bod, certainly treat low bs as your MD recommends before enjoying this meal). It’s a safe meal to prevent a huge jump in blood sugar, and sometimes I love it because I am dieting & need to make up for calories I overdid elsewhere, or just need to increase my weight-loss, and how can you beat this combo for a diet, except maybe baked uncoated fish & spinach?The sodium could get to be a problem from the canned tomatoes, especially if used often, (but it’s not the cauliflower, it’s the canned tomatoes). If you like being in the kitchen you could dice the tomatoes & green chillis yourself avoiding the 860 mg NaCl+ in the canned tomatoes, cause the whole package of the riced cauliflower only has 55 mg sodium!!! If you want to make it flashy & don’t mind the extra calories, mix in some feta when you add the tomatoes, or top with any cheese before nuking. I am sure more creative folks than me could think of tons of other ways to make this terrific product a very healthy low cal part of their lives. Good addition for the Keto folks too. It’s a meal I feel terrific about eating & know won’t hurt me, besides enjoying every single bite.

This is a great-tasting, wonderfully versatile, shelf stable product. When you put those positives together you get the negative of a higher price. For me because of diet constraints and a desire to have it on the shelf - it is worth it. Cauliflower is such an interesting vegetable because it is such a great chameleon - it can be anything you want it to be!

While product is hot, you can taste something a bit sour which is the malic acid, a NATURAL product (look it up, it's also used in cosmetics).**Product tastes best after stirred & cooled a little!** Before opening, use hands to squish around contents before opening to mix up the cauliflower. Don't eat it right away when microwave is done - ALWAYS stir immediately & WAIT 2-3 minutes before eating so heat is distributed. Product tastes best after stirred & cooled a little!We put heated cauliflower in bowl, *added 2 small pouches of Starkist salmon (4.5oz), *added 2 tblspn pumpkin, 1 tblspn hemp seeds, *1/2 tspn flax, *MrsDash seasoning, stirred very well = 2 MAIN DISHES for about $4.25!!Price was $19.99 for (6) pouches and, yes, each pouch is 2 servings, at $1.69 a serving!! When you add to canned or home-made soups, veggies, sauces, meats, scrambled eggs/omelettes it WILL stretch the budget and save $$. When I combined with other foods, like veggies & Starkist Salmon pouches, each meal is about $4.25 which is cheaper than a drive-thru!

A great rice substitute. Low calorie,nutricious.

Healthy food should taste great, or be added to already great tasting food. This unfortunately does not fit into either category. I initially expected dehydrated cauliflower in rice shaped form. Instead this is finely grated cauliflower pieces.The taste: Maybe due to preservatives or whatever chemicals are inside of this package this is SOUR and BITTER.Freshly grated, and lightly steamed cauliflower is incomparable to this foul taste.Something needs to change here - even our dog would not eat this and we had to throw it away.

I usually like these easy to use, quick to heat packaged foods when you want a little something extra to add to the meal. This cooks in the microwave in 90 seconds, but it was so watery. I wish I had drained it in a colander before serving.

The product is superior. I'm on keto and I use it to stretch my ground beef in taco meat and stuffed peppers saving slot on calories. It takes on the flavor of whatever you are cooking and has a great texture. Highly recommend. I do not eat it without mixing it in something else. I first bought at Costco and cannot find there now. Bad reviewers don't know how to properly use product.

I don't know what to say - I'm a convert. For someone who is an aggressive rice lover, for me to be able to switch over so quickly after one tasting means A LOT!!! Extremely easy to prepare. ZERO MESS. ZERO CLEAN UP. An excellent substitute for rice. This is a miracle food.
