The invention relates to functional food to be eaten without heating, which is a powdery mixture containing substances of plant origin, and which has components containing different phytoestrogens. Further, the invention relates to the method of preparing the food. According to the invention, the food contains especially isoflavone-containing precooked soybean flour and lignane-containing germinated rye. Flavour-imparting components, such as dried lingonberry, dried rose hip and/or sweeteners, such as raw cane sugar, may also be included. The germination of rye grains can be carried out by soaking them in water, by letting them germ in room temperature, by drying the germinated grains by air blowing, and by finally milling the grains. The resulting powder is combined with the soybean flour and possible other components of the product by mechanical mixing. The powder may be eaten without cooking, mixed with a liquid, either as a drink or as a more solid mixture. |
