Chia Pet

Chia Pets are American styled animal-shaped terracotta figurines used to sprout chia, where the chia sprouts resemble the animal’s fur.

Chia Pets achieved popularity in the 1980s following the 1982 release of a ram, the first Chia Pet. The catch phrase sung in the TV commercial as the plant grows in time lapse is “Ch-ch-ch-chia!”. Moistened seeds of chia (Salvia hispanica) are applied to the grooved terra cotta figurine body. Click here to read more and watch a commercial »
