Green Giant has turned cauliflower into a low carb version of onion rings!
Their “onion rings,” are made with real cauliflower and come in two flavors: the Cauliflower Three Cheese with Bacon and Cauliflower French Onion
I tried a package of Green Giant® French Onion flavored Veggie Rings® and really enjoyed them! The texture was smilar to a real onion ring and the flavor was enjoyable.
Cauliflower is one of the most versatile and popular low-carb vegetables. One cup (100 grams) of raw cauliflower contains 5 grams of carbs, 3 of which are fiber.
Some low-carb diets may have health benefits beyond weight loss, such as reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. A low-carb diet generally limits grains, legumes, fruits, breads, sweets, pastas and starchy vegetables, and sometimes nuts and seeds.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45% to 65% of your total daily calorie intake. So if you consume 2,000 calories a day, carbs would account for between 900 and 1,300 calories a day.
