Yes, those store bought cauliflower crusts have almost as many carbs as a normal pizza crust, it's just pizza crust with some added cauliflower.
Completely useless things, aimed at parents who want to trick their children into eating more veggies.

At least you know the cause of your rise, I hope the pizza was very tasty!
 
If it helps...here was my first foray into LC pizza

Plenty online if you look.

Used mozzarella, a little cheddar , a grated fresh cauliflower and whatever odds and ends in fridge
(Just lucky I had a few decent bits lying around, and a chorizo sausage. )

* Mozzarella can be pricey, Tesco (and sure others) do a reasonable price version for under a pound (or did)
Worked fine & tasted lovely .

A little prep required, but for this non baking, poor cook, it was easy enough ...(none of the equipment required, pizza stone :wideyed: , nut milk bag :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious: )
Just went square shape, on a baking tray grease proof paper, and used freezer bag, corner cut off to squeeze out cauliflower excess water before using.

We liked it and no spike ..WIN

Tip, made a few times since, and leaves seemed a shame to waste.
So trimmed off, and fried in a little oil or butter ..very nice add to meal

I buy low carb pizza bases from the Low Carb Food Co they are a bit pricey at £7.99 for 4 (I think) but they make a great pizza as the base is very near bread and they are very filling. They freeze well and I have one most weekends, still cheaper than a takeaway one
 
I do a “fathead” pizza base from ditchthecarbs.com. Basically it’s mozzarella, cream cheese, egg and almond flour. i double the batch and make half into crackers with herbs, garlic, or chilli powder etc at the same time.

With all these carbs I’m not surprised you had a lingering rise in glucose

was it aimed at a gluten free market?

Tricalcium phosphate....mmmhh

Had to Google that..

From a small hill tribe in the Andes mountains, apparently.

A lesser know sister crop to quinoa

Grown by mashing berries from the tricalcium plant with ash from the pho-pho bush the tribe traditionally use to provide heat and fuel for cooking.

Adds a certain piquancy to any dish.

Sadly , like quinoa now out of the price range of the indigenous peoples & having an unintentional impact on the soil, climate crisis & the lovely llamas.

While heavily promoted by Big Food, as a better / healthier alternative to many more mainstream western crops.

A small grass roots movement, "Fresh Food is the Best Food" is trying to warn people of its adverse impact and instead promoting more local based , so called 'Fresh Food Ingredients'.

A spokesperson for the group, speaking off the record.
Said, "People do indeed want a healthy world & diet".

But admitted the message the group is promoting faces an uphill battle changing peoples diets.

"Trying to cut a way through the blizzard of advertising created by the Food Giants, with spending budgets that would put many countries defence spending to shame, isn't easy "

Australia has been growing quinoa for the last few years in Tasmania and Western Australia.

It's a little tongue in cheek.... ;).
But links to the plight of locals is real.

But you're probably right, I imagine others, just like with wines would try growing a cash crop like that

But the real message was the
RFPPFF*

* Real Food People's Popular Freedom Front.

more diabetics liking what their message is & joining every day.
