A woman decided to share part of her with her family by feeding them a smoothie made out of her own placenta. Jay Woodall, a mother of four, says she always wanted to do something with her placenta following the birth of her children, but never had the chance with her first two.

Jay told SWNS she paid $42 for her raw placenta to be turned into smoothies. Everything left over was dehydrated and turned into pills, she said, costing her another $210 dollars.

"It’s not really much different from eating certain meats," she said. "A lot of animals do it, especially mammals, we’re the only ones who don’t eat the after birth."

Jay, a self-confessed hippy from Fleet, Hampshire, also had her umbilical cord dehydrated and turned into a keepsake.

She said she added berries and other ingredients to the smoothie to improve its flavor.

"It just tasted like a berry smoothie, it had coconut water and berries in it, so it tasted really nice,” she added. On its own, the placenta tasted “a bit like liver, like an irony, metallic taste. It’s not horrible, it’s not a disgusting taste at all."

Jay fed the placenta smoothie to her husband and their 3-year-old son, Demitrius. "I think everyone had it," she said. "My husband had some just out of pure curiosity and my son tried some and said it was yummy. But again, it had berries and stuff in it,” she said.
