'''Placenta''' is an [[Cookbook:Organ Meat|organ meat]] expelled soon after a birth. Placenta has a springy texture similar to the [[w:Heart|heart]], but more sponge-like.
 
 
 
Whilst Human placenta has a taste akin to a mild liver, many beef recipes work well with human placenta. A human placenta typically weighs 1/6 of the baby's weight.
 
 
 
To prepare placenta, cut the membranes away with a sharp knife. Wash if desired. Treat the placenta as you would any other meat.
