Purple Cauli-Rice Balanced Bowl
Live vibrantly, friends! Discovering that vibrant beauty of purple cauliflower feels like finding a unicorn. Sure, I've seen and have tried purple cauliflower before, but never really thought about buying it often and making into cauli-rice. You've heard it time and time before to eat colorful foods and lots of them. If you've never tried purple cauliflower, the taste is mild and slightly sweet with nutty nuances. Pretty much any fruit, vegetable, or flower with a significant amount of purple or blue gets that color from anthocyanins. Even some reds can be anthocyanin-based. The deeper the color, the more anthocyanins.

Anthocyanins help in the prevention of the oxidation of omega-3 fatty acids in yourgut, and interacting with your body at the cellular level to produce beneficial antioxidant and/or hormetic effects.
