Chia pet seeds are being touted as the new super food.
Some health experts say the seeds provide fiber and can be a substitute for whole grains.
Some trainers are even recommending the seeds to clients for their good food properties.
"It has a lot of protein in it. Also, the omega-3 content; so, healthy fats and oils are going to be, um, consumed with that as well," says physical trainer Keri Anderson.
