Placenta

Placentophagy is the name
Of the act of mammals that eat
Their young's placenta that just came
After the childbirth, so to meet
The needs of nature that enlist
Perhaps to hide the birthing from
Wild predators that might exist.
But, from human placentas come
Some nutrients that may help ease
A mother's return to sound health.
This choice can be prepped to please.
Of recipes there are a wealth.

The question asked in eating mine -
Should I select white or red wine?
