When fighting Candida overgrowth, eating plenty of anti-fungal herbs, spices, and produce is crucial!
As a cruciferous vegetable, broccoli contains isothiocyanates, which are sulphur- and nitrogen-rich compounds that attack the Candida fungus. The addition of the lemon juice, garlic, and spices makes this dish a powerful tool to fend off Candida overgrowth and rebalance the gut flora!
