                                Did you know a 2014 case study documented a dangerous esophageal blockage caused by unsoaked chia seeds expanding in a person's throat? If you've ever experienced that uncomfortable sensation, it's likely due to the highly absorbent nature of chia seeds, which can cause your throat to feel clogged after drinking chia seed water.
