Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

2 cups Garden Brown Sauce
1/2 cup sweet Marsala, divided
2 (12.3-ounce) packages extra-firm tofu, drained
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup minced green onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Add half of tofu; sauté 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan; keep warm. Repeat procedure with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining tofu. Stir in 1/4 cup Marsala and juice, scraping pan to loosen brown bits. Stir in brown sauce mixture, onions, and 2 tablespoons parsley.
