It's put into a capsule for new moms so I doubt they taste it.

Not always, there's apparently cultures where it's cooked or put in a soup. Also a few months ago someone on the internet claimed to have done that with the placeta of his wife.

Yes, I was referring to the new age moms referenced in the article. I know there are also cultures who plant the placenta. They bury the placenta and plant a tree above it.

That works better with dead people, they rot slower. But in some sense trees are carnivores and like some meat.
