[Sca-cooks] pickled clover flowers

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

Red Clover provides a precursor to estrogen, which is why it can cause
fluctuations in hormones which is not something you want unexpectedly in
pregnancy.  Promensil is one of the big peri-menopausal supplements on the
market, it is from Australia and is made from a Red Clover extract.

According to a website I just found, red clover
is helpful to menstrating and menopausal women,
but pregnant women should not eat red clover.
It didn't say why.

So, to whoever is planning on serving pickled
clover flowers, please put a warning on your
dish so that pregnant women can avoid it.
