Embark on a gastronomic journey through the bowels of our planet and discover the secrets of geophagy, the ancient art of eating earth. Geophagy, an ancestral practice of ingesting earthy substances, has been present in different cultures around the world for millennia. From the indigenous peoples of the Americas to ancient African and Asian civilizations, the consumption of land was seen as a ritual, a medicine and, in some cases, even a symbol of social status. But after all, what makes people eat dirt? What types of soil are most consumed? And what are the possible benefits and risks of this practice? In this guide, we'll unravel the mysteries of geophagy and explore the reasons behind this seemingly strange habit.
