Where To Buy Riced Cauliflower

While you can definitely whip out your food processor and make your own riced cauliflower I decided to go for a much easier route – frozen.

You can find riced cauliflower in the frozen section of just about every grocery store, but I was excited to find it where I shop the most – Aldi! (I love that they have healthier options for those of us trying to make better choices with our eating.)
