Where would you get this in Egypt? And, while we're on the subject, do you happen to know where I can buy tofu?


Btw – what's HRT?

I have never bought this flour but I think it can be in hypermarkets or at grain sellers (3attar).

Mh, I doubt it. Just thought you might know. No problem.

The whole point is to eat some food rich in estrogen.

I heard also about sweat potatoes to contain Estrogen.

Yes, I understood that. There are various foods that contain phytoestrogens; soy products are very good, but also nuts and beans:


According to a study by Canadian researchers about the content of nine common phytoestrogens in a Western diet, foods with the highest relative phytoestrogen content were nuts and oilseeds, followed by soy products, cereals and breads, legumes, meat products, and other processed foods that may contain soy, vegetables, fruits, alcoholic, and nonalcoholic beverages.

Flax seed and other oilseeds contained the highest total phytoestrogen content, followed by soybeans and tofu. The highest concentrations of isoflavones are found in soybeans and soybean products followed by legumes, whereas lignans are the primary source of phytoestrogens found in nuts and oilseeds (e.g. flax) and also found in cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables.
