It is a common practice in certain cultures and in just about any animal species that gives live birth!. It is considered (at least the humans!. I asked my dog about it but she won't answer me) to be highly nutritious and beneficial to breast feeding moms!. There is also a placenta cream and what not that's supposed to rejuvinate the skin!.

Of course if you want to eat it, that's all up to you!. Many healthy moms go on without eating theirs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've heard it is!. I know people do, mostly in other cultures, indeed eat the placenta!. The more common (in terms of recycling the placenta) is to plant a tree with the placenta in the ground with the roots!. It is highly right in nutrients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, it is!.

Some people do it for cultural reasons, others do it to prevent post part depression if they already had that with the first baby!. It is made into pills (actually capsules) these days so it doesnt have to be nasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
