Chia Pet

Figurines in the shape of animals have been made for centuries as art objects. These figurines have typically been made of clay, stone or wood. Go to Chia Power if you want to know more about the history of chia. Link here.


The ch-ch-ch-Chia is so much a part of American consumer lore that it was ch-ch-ch-chosen to be included in a New York Times time capsule, to be opened in the year 3000, along with a Purple Heart medal, a can of Spam and a Betty Crocker cookbook. From smithsonianmag.com
