Butternut squash is quite high in carbs.

For 'cauliflower rice' use the metal blade in a food processor, pulsing for 30 to 60 seconds until it resembles rice. I then eat it raw but it steams quickly if you prefer.

'Mash' needs well cooked cauliflower. Use the plastic blade in the processor and add butter. Cream cheese is also good. Blend together until smooth.

Yes I wondered about butternut squash but, as you can see, the link I gave is from a diabetes website! I suppose you know that the digestion of carbs is slowed down by eating fibre.

The advice given on some diabetes websites is simply wrong. In fact, may be killing people.

The problem is the production of insulin, not the actual speed of digestion.

Dietary fibre helps control blood sugar levels. In people with diabetes, fibre — particularly soluble fibre — can slow the absorption of sugar and help improve blood sugar levels. A healthy diet that includes insoluble fibre may also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

I could answer this post by simply repeating my last answer :

However, we could easily hijack the thread with this, so better to start a new thread, maybe?
The thread is about making cauliflower more palatable. 'Low carb' is specified. One option, of course, would be to drop vegetables altogether. Or, failing that, to stick to green ones - salad leaves, spinach, cabbage etc.

A bit of a keto joke here:
