If you don’t have a food processor or you simply don’t want to make your own cauliflower rice, you can buy it online.
In fact the best deal I’ve found on organic riced cauliflower is at Whole Foods through Amazon Prime (at about 16 cents per ounce).
Many grocery stores sell it in the frozen vegetable section. Of course, it costs more than buying a head of cauliflower and “ricing” it yourself. However, it provides a quick and easy alternative.
For example, Walmart sells a 12-ounce (4 serving) bag for about $2.50. In addition, you can find convenient microwaveable pouches of cauliflower rice online for about $3.50 (6-pouch packs, 12 servings).
Plus, the microwave packs don’t have to be refrigerated or frozen. Therefore, you can stock up and store them in your pantry, take them to work for easy healthy lunches, on camping trips, etc..
Where to Buy Cauliflower Rice at Grocery Stores
Note: You can now get Organic Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Rice for about $2 a 4-serving bag. The only ingredients are organic cauliflower and salt. (I also saw TJ’s riced cauliflower on Amazon, but it costs a lot more.)
Green Giant makes a frozen ready made version of riced cauliflower. A 4-serving bag contains 4 cups of cauliflower with no other ingredients. It comes shredded and ready to cook.
You can typically find this product at Walmart, Target, Kroger and many local grocery stores.
Use their search tool on their website to locate the closest shop to you.

Purchase Cauliflower Rice at Whole Foods
Whole Foods sells their own pre-made cauliflower rice. In fact, you may be able to order same-day grocery delivery to your home, including the riced cauliflower. You can check your local store here.
Is Making Cauliflower Rice Yourself Faster & Cheaper than Buying It?
Cauliflower rice is easy to make yourself, as long as you have the right equipment. That is, a food processor with a shredding disc.
Plus, if you want to make the task even easier, “pre-shred” it. In other words, just shred a bunch of cauliflower at one time and then freeze it.
Therefore, you don’t have to take out the food processor every time you want to make cauliflower rice for dinner (or lunch or breakfast). it’s a great time saver!
Let’s Break Down the Cost and How to Save Money:
- 8.5 ounce bag of organic, pre-cooked cauliflower rice on Thrive Market costs about $2.50. Thrive Market is a membership site for people who want to save money on organic, Keto, Paleo, Vegan food and snacks.
They also carry riced broccoli, shiritaki rice, cauliflower quick meals and chick pea rice. Compare Thrive’s prices – membership can save you a bunch of money. - A 12 ounce bag of green Giant Brand from Walmart costs about $2.50.
- An average head of cauliflower (6-7″ diameter) equals approximately 840 grams, or 29 ounces. Therefore, if you can find a head of cauliflower priced under $2.50, you’ll get twice as much cauliflower rice if you shred it yourself.
