What do you think of when you hear about chia seeds? If you are thinking about those popular Chia Pets from the 1980s, you aren’t alone. But chia seeds have been reborn as a super food, popping up in smoothies, salads and other healthy – and tooth-friendly – treats!

They are not for consumption and the chia seeds you find in your health food store are sold under much stricter standards.
