In the US, the pizza industry is a 45 billion dollar business. The diet industry is an 80 billion dollar business. 350 slices of pizza are eaten every second! It’s no wonder the number one “cheat meal” of dieters all across America is pizza. It’s also no coincidence that when it comes to pizza crust alternatives – there is no shortage of options. Looking for a gluten-free crust? There are a ton. A crust with veggies in it? Several. A low-carb pizza crust? A few. A pizza crust alternative that actually appeals to your taste buds? That one, perhaps, is subjective.
Enter Cali’flour Foods cauliflower pizza crust. The healthiest pizza crust in America? Consumers say so. This article is not based off of opinion, it’s based off of facts. Read on and see where they lead.
We are living in a time now where it has becoming “trendy” to eat healthy. While this is overall a great place to be for our country – there is a side-effect issue that is rising that needs to be brought to light.
People want to be educated on how to choose the right foods for their individual dietary needs. With a demand for more healthy food options on the rise, we are seeing more and more products entering the market that are catering to these demands of consumers. People want to eat healthy without feeling deprived. They are craving good tasting, healthy alternatives to their favorite “unhealthy” foods. While it’s a great start that there are more and more healthy options available for consumers to purchase – it’s important to note that what looks healthy on the outside in the way of marketing, isn’t always reflected on the inside (ingredients and nutritional value). Since this article is about pizza crusts, here is an example. Take a look at this chart highlighting the differences between Cali’flour Food’s pizza crusts and a few other cauliflower crusts on the market.
In full transparency, Cali’flour Foods created this chart. Not because it’s an opportunity to brag about how awesome the nutritional profile is (even though it is legitimately incredible) – but because people truly want to be educated. Every day dozens of people excitedly share on social media that they bought a cauliflower pizza crust to incorporate in their low-carb diet…but it wasn’t a low-carb product they were sharing (aka NOT Cali’flour crusts)!
Consumers don’t always read nutrition labels – and some assume that because one crust is low in carbohydrates – then all cauliflower crusts must be too. As seen from the chart – that is unfortunately not the case. By educating healthy eaters on these differentiating factors, they will in turn be more cognizant on reading all nutritional labels. Just because a product may seem healthier, that doesn’t mean it fits into your specific dietary desires or needs.
When it comes to pizza crusts, It’s not so easy to find an option that can deliver each of the following:
- Low Carb
- Low-Calorie
- High protein
- Minimal Ingredients
It’s even harder to find a pizza crust if you fit into one of these categories:
- People with Diabetes
- Those who suffer from autoimmune diseases
- People with a gluten intolerance (celiac or otherwise)
- People who want to be able to pronounce the ingredient list in their food
- Those looking for a plant based (vegan) crust
Unless of course, the brand is Cali’flour Foods. Not only can each of those boxes be checked – the crusts taste incredible. Ask any one of their half a million followers or customers. They are the highest reviewed crust on the market – and that speaks volumes beyond what can be written in this article.
So, are Cali’flour Foods crusts the healthiest pizza crust in America? Some would dare to say they may just be the healthiest in the world. Consumers can find these low-carb cauliflower crusts in select retailers and online at www.califlourfoods.com.
It’s time to take back pizza night – without the pizza hangover.
