I still have my placenta in my freezer (I had a home birth) but I have no plans to eat it. I think I will plant it beneath a tree, but I have no room to plant a tree in my yard, so I guess I`m just waiting for a good friend or relative to move to the country. I can`t imagine just throwing it out, though. So it`s in my freezer (clearly labeled!) for now.

hrmmm...after reading the comments and realising that you could make `placenta capsules` I would consider it, kinda gross but not nearly as puke-worthy as eating it cooked up on the barbee.....I cringe at the thought! Im sure taking it in capsule form would be beneficial, I mean animals eat the placenta after giving birth, its just humans who placed a stigma on it!

Joel Stein wrote a hilarious article about his hippie-ish wife Cassandra eating her placenta. Im sure you could google it, I cracked up and read it a few times. Other than that, my old ECE prof ate hers. Weird. I couldnt do it, capsule, pasta, whatever. Ew.

I know someone that ate it. She had a home birth and felt like she would be throwing a part of her and the baby away. She said it tasted like liver. She didn`t eat it all in one sitting, over the course of a few days.

At first I thought this question was a joke b/c eating the ugliest thing I`ve ever seen is the farthest thing from my mind. However, knowing how nutricious it is, I guess having it encapsulated wouldn`t be bad.

Ditto the other two - I only know ladies that have had it encapsulated.

I have friends in real life that make it into capsules a then take those.
