    Personally, I think placenta is just one more throw-away body excretement. It's not much to be proud of, or of any more importance than poo. The important thing is the new baby!

    Animals eat it to reduce the risk of predators finding them and their newborns. And, probably to make up for nutrients lost during nursing/pregnancy and weeks they couldn't properly hunt. Humans do strange things with it, but the tree is mild compared to the lotus birth.

    I almost did the lotus birth but was scared that I'd pick up the baby too fast or something and the cord would be severed too quickly.

    As far as the taste, sort of like hamburger but tougher. It's very dense and nothing like liver.

    I have Lily's placenta in our freezer right this moment. (Funny how my freezer is overrun with my own bodily products - between that & my overabundant breast milk. See?)



    Anyway, I plan to fertilize a tree with it eventually; I just want to be somewhere more permanent than our current rental first, so we can watch the tree grow. I totally get the eating of it - other mammals do it instinctively - it just wasn't my thing this time.
