Cauliflower Rice That Sells
14/7/2025
Cauliflower is having a moment – ticking all the boxes for nutrition, flexibility and convenience. In addition, it is the perfect vehicle to transport flavours from any cuisine, while adding body and texture to each dish. Edgell Cauliflower Rice adds to these benefits with 100% yield, no waste and almost two years’ shelf life.
Speedy and versatile Edgell Cauliflower Rice is a no-prep powerhouse, ready to use straight from the freezer and taking just eight minutes to cook. Don’t think of it as just a rice replacement, it can stand in anytime for cous cous or other grains, add body to soups, turned into mash with or without potato, and even tossed into salads for extra crunch.
Nutritious menu ideas Wellness and healthy eating are top of mind for many consumers right now, as is plant-based dining. Simplot’s Macro Trend Report for 2025 reports 73% of Australians and New Zealanders are putting more effort into eating a healthy diet.
This is where Edgell Cauliflower Rice comes into its own, especially for people following a low-carb regime. They’ll love a Cauli Rice Miso Salmon bowl, combining the omega-3 goodness of salmon with the fibre and nutrients of avocado, cauliflower, broad beans and crispy radish. Make it vegan by swapping the salmon with marinated tofu or oyster mushrooms.
Another great vegan dish that’s also low carb and gluten-free is Cauliflower Tabbouleh & Falafels – the Edgell Cauliflower Rice makes a delicious alternative to bulgur wheat in the tabbouleh, and pairs beautifully with I&J Falafels. For carnivores, the tabbouleh also works well with spiced lamb cutlets, or for more Middle Eastern magic, try Cauliflower Pilaf with Moroccan Lamb, another low-prep dish when using Edgell Peas, Corn & Capsicum Mix.
Your friend in the freezer From cafes and fast casual, to pubs, clubs, healthcare and everything in between, Edgell Cauliflower Rice is a chef’s friend for flavourful, nutritious dishes with no waste and the convenience of 1kg bags ready to go in the freezer. It is also ideally placed for aged care and healthcare menus, being easy to prepare in soup, as a purée, or in small, soft pieces.
Whether you're looking to boost your plant-based offerings, cater to health-conscious diners, or simply streamline back-of-house operations, Edgell Cauliflower Rice is a winner. Explore Simplot’s recipe collection for extra ideas – and put the power of cauliflower to work on your menu.
