Yes i have heard of people eating it, but personally after having a good look at a couple of mine I don't think I could stomach it, maybe like someone said if it could be changed into another form a capsule??? MAYBE??? Another thing worth considering I have had a couple of overdue babies and i really don't think you would consider eating their placentas, they had a smell and were starting to break down, good thing bubs decide it was time to get out.
i brought one home and we planted a tree over the top of it, the tree grew very well.
