Estrogenic refers to having a property of estrogen. What they are referring to is the fact that these plants contain compounds that have extremely weak estrogen-type effects. But this is also true of all the plants we eat including onions, garlic, peaches, parsley, yams, seaweeds, peas, rhubarb, etc.
