20 Foods High in Estrogen
Based on the research from the study cited above, the top 20 foods to increase estrogen levels on a per-serving basis are listed below. Clearly the top recommendation would be consumption of flaxseeds and other soy-related products (e.g. soybeans, soy nuts, and tofu). Understand that certain foods may not have been taken into consideration in this study and therefore the list may not be conclusive.
Flaxseed (163,133)
Soybeans (45,724)
Soy nuts (21,306)
Textured veggie protein (8,923)
Tofu (8,688)
Soy milk (7,422)
Soy yogurt (6,576)
Tempeh (6,407)
Flax bread (3,770)
Sesame seed (2,722)
Miso Paste (2,463)
Multigrain bread (2,207)
Miso Soup (1,691)
Soy protein powder (1,591)
Doughnuts (1,568)
Soy protein bar (1,525)
Black bean sauce (1,119)

I had no idea about flaxseed. I used to consume that daily.
Hummus on the list?
Eating healthy must entail cooking from scratch, and not using overly processes foods.
Does chickpeas have estrogens?
Hummus is chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic, which is a rock-solid ingredients list.
