  We construct minimal Eisenstein integrals for a reductive symmetric space G/H
as matrix coefficients of the minimal principal series of G. The Eisenstein
integrals thus obtained include those from the \sigma-minimal principal series.
In addition, we obtain related Eisenstein integrals, but with different
normalizations. Specialized to the case of the group, this wider class includes
Harish-Chandra's minimal Eisenstein integrals.
