Pilaf (also called Pilau) is a classic rice dish cooked in stock or broth, flavored with spices, and often mixed with veggies or meat. The beauty of this dish is how the rice grains stay separate and fluffy.

At FFD, we’ve given the traditional pilaf a healthy twist! Instead of rice, we use grated cauliflower. It mimics the texture of rice, but with a much lower glycemic index and a big boost in fiber.
It’s a light, diabetes-friendly dish you can enjoy as a main meal—or even as a substitute for sabji.
