Its not "artificial rice" is cauliflower and for a type 2 its more beneficial and is part of a proper balanced diet. Rice will spike a type 2but artificial rice is unhealthy and not suitable as a proper diet
Cauli rice that you buy is often made from the grated stalk of the Cauliflower. Same for Broccolli rice. No harm in that. You can also make it yourself by just grating the cauliflower, and at least that way, you get the florets too!please can someone tell me how i can make fake rice i know its cauliflower grated but is it cooked ?
many thanks

1. half a bag of Sainsburys cauliflower rice (150g) has 3g of carbs but also has 3g of fibre.While cauliflower rice and broccoli rice made from grated stalks can be a healthy option for many people, there are a few potential considerations for individuals with diabetes.
As always, individuals with diabetes should consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to determine the best dietary approach for their specific needs and to ensure proper blood sugar management.
- Carbohydrate Content: Cauliflower and broccoli, while lower in carbohydrates compared to traditional rice, still contain some carbohydrates. Diabetic individuals need to be mindful of their carbohydrate intake to manage blood sugar levels effectively.
- Glycemic Impact: Cauliflower and broccoli have a low glycemic index, meaning they have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. However, individual responses can vary. It's important for people with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels after consuming cauliflower or broccoli rice to understand their personal glycemic response.
- Portion Control: Even though cauliflower and broccoli rice are lower in carbohydrates, portion control is still crucial for managing blood sugar levels. Eating excessively large portions can lead to an increase in overall carbohydrate intake.
- Preparation Methods: While stir-frying or microwaving cauliflower rice is convenient, it's essential to be mindful of added ingredients like oils or sauces that can affect blood sugar levels. Opting for healthier cooking methods like steaming or baking can help minimize added fats and sauces.
Hi EmmaEbilIt is true that half a bag of Sainsbury's cauliflower rice (150g) contains 3g of carbohydrates and 3g of fiber, making it a net carb-neutral option. This balance of carbs and fiber can be found in many foods. However, it's important to consider overall dietary choices and individual needs, especially for individuals with diabetes.
When managing diabetes, it is generally recommended to prioritize whole, natural foods over processed alternatives. Opting for fresh cauliflower and preparing it at home without using a microwave can provide a more nutrient-dense option. Steaming or other cooking methods that retain the natural integrity of the food may be preferable.
While it's assumed that adults using this forum are aware of the effects of added oil or sauce on the nutritional content of their meals, it's worth emphasizing the importance of mindful ingredient choices. Using healthier cooking techniques and being cautious with added fats and sauces can positively impact blood sugar management.
Ultimately, individuals with diabetes should work closely with healthcare professionals or registered dietitians to develop a personalized meal plan that focuses on whole, natural ingredients and aligns with their specific dietary needs.
I'm sorry to hear that - what type of diabetes did your sister have, and how was it managed? Do you have diabetes yourself?My sister had diabetes, because of not proper nutrition her toe was cut off, and a few years later she died. I had to go through all this, I remember long stays in the hospital - although there was food at McDonald's when the doctor forbade both coffee and ice cream .....
Well the nhs guidlines are outdated so I will take my chances and carry on eating my cauliflower rice with the backing of my gp and dn.My point is not to nitpick about rice, but rather to emphasize the importance of proper nutrition. The key is to listen to doctors and consult with them for guidance on maintaining a healthy diet.

This is not true in the uk. Our carbohydrate counts and listings already have separated out the fibRE into its own listing. So if you deduct the fibre from the carbs (again) you end up with a falsely low reading. Carbs in this product are 3. Fibre is 3. No maths required. It is not a carb free product.It is true that half a bag of Sainsbury's cauliflower rice (150g) contains 3g of carbohydrates and 3g of fiber, making it a net carb-neutral option.
