The spiralizer, a hand-driven appliance favored by gourmet chefs and raw-food enthusiasts, is nowgetting its moment in the culinary spotlight, giving home cooks a way to slice and dice fresh produce quickly and creatively. Driven by an interest in paleo, low carb, and gluten-free diets, many people are looking for ways to replace grain-based pastas and other processed foods with wholesome vegetables and fruits. A spiralizer provides an easy, enjoyable way to transform apples, beets, cabbages, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, and more into exciting dishes and eye-popping garnishes that add both pizzazz and flavor.
