Human placentophagy, or consumption of the placenta, is defined as "the ingestion of a human placenta postpartum, at any time, by any person, either in raw or altered (e.g., cooked, dried, steeped in liquid) form". Placentophagy can be divided into two categories, maternal placentophagy and non-maternal placentophagy.
