Alternative to Cauliflower Rice

Erm, but as above, sweet potato has a lot of carbs!
And not sure where they get their figures from, the blurb claims 61% less carbs than white rice.
But, the carbs and cals book has:
163g white rice = 51g carbs
160g sweet potato = 45g carbs (baked)
160g sweet potato = 33g carbs (mashed)
Both way less than 61%

Perhaps comparing it to uncooked white rice rather than cooked? Dry white rice is around 80% carbs but cooking adds water weight and the percentage by weight drops hugely. Maybe they're comparing the product as sold to dry uncooked rice? If so it's deceptive.

BTW I've taken to mixing cauliflower rice with white rice a lot of the time. I came to find cauliflower rice unsatisfying - I'd be hungry again a couple of hours later. It has very little calories in it. CGM experiments also showed it to be a very conservative meal for me - much less carbs than I can currently get away with. A small portion of white rice mixed in with it solved the hunger problem and I find it tastier, without producing the huge BG spike that I see if I eat a large portion of white rice. White rice gets cooked in the house anyway whenever there's a curry or stir fry for dinner, so a few spoons of white rice is no hassle. I found it to be a reasonably compromise.
 
Good idea, might try mixing little bit of normal rice with cauli rice too, cheers
 
This is the information from the nutracheck app.
Be sure to post a review. It must have more taste to it than cauliflower rice imagine, but good taste or bad taste?
