Thanks Kalop between you and C.woman I should have no problem keeping my calcium filled, also help my bones who the Doctor said is not in such good shape.
At my regular grocery store, I find the tofu where the fruits and veggies are but some stores have it in thier dairy cases. It just depends on the store. I have no idea what HEB is but I have seen it in the refrigerated section at Walmart.Originally Posted by Bootsie
Thanks C.Woman , I have never tried tofu, and where would you find it in the grocery store, I shop mainly at Walmart and HEB. What is your favorite dish that you prepare it with? Reason I ask is, sometimes I buy new products but don't really have the best recipe and I end up not liking it, and don't try it again. I don't want to do that in this case because; just look at the high content of calcium, potassium in it ! Might be good for cramps in my legs and low in calories. If you can give me your favorite dish I can look up the recipe on the internet in google. That way you won't have to type it all out for me. Then Monday when I go to town get some and try it.Thanks Kalop between you and C.woman I should have no problem keeping my calcium filled, also help my bones who the Doctor said is not in such good shape.
I don't have any particular recipe but I add the firm tofu to stir frys, homemade soups and chili because it takes on the flavour of the other foods it is prepared with. I even put it in beef bourginon once and no one noticed it was in there. (I am sneaky like that. LOL!)
The soft, silken tofu can be added to smoothies. Good for a quick breakfast when you are practically dashing out the door and are pressed for time in the mornings. I drank a lot of those when I was taking computer classes and pressed for time in the mornings.
Here is a link you can read. It was where I started with tofu.

Calcium (plus vitamin D), magnesium and pottasium will help you get rid of the cramps in your legs. I get them all the time and have to take supplements. When my magnesium is especially low I get leg and foot cramps very badly at night when trying to sleep. They hurt!!
