As a sandwich lover, I had the chance to taste test this Millet-Chia bread by Udi’s Gluten Free Foods and below you can read some facts about millet and chia from the Udi’s blog:
Millet
Millet seed is an ancient grain first cultivated in China around 4500BC. It is high in protein, fiber, magnesium, and phosphorus, all of which are important for certain functions in our bodies.
Chia
An ancient grain stemming back to Mayan and Aztec cultures around 3500 BC, the teeny chia seed’s name literally means “strength.” This name is fitting, given its concentrated nutritional content. Chia seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and can be added to a variety of foods to boost nutritional content, such as hot cereal, vegetables, sauces, and baked goods (such as breads and cookies).
The chia seeds add the perfect texture to this bread, and you feel like you’re definitely eating something deliciously healthy. It toasted perfectly on a buttered cast iron skillet, and was strong enough to hold up to various ingredients. Ingredients that I think make one of the best sandwiches:
- Cheese: One of my favorite cheeses to use in hot sandwiches is mozzarella, because of how gorgeous it melts and it’s like the glue that holds my sandwich together;
- Deli Meat: Another favorite, Honey Baked Ham. The balance of sweet and salty is joy in my mouth;
- Greens: Have you ever had Pho? One of the things I love the most about it is the herb salad on the side, which I recreated here by tossing some fresh greens with cilantro. This adds a burst of flavor to an otherwise normal sandwich;
- Spread: Sriracha and Mayonnaise. Go make it right now and try it, it will change you world. Want to add a touch of sweetness to it? Drizzle in a little honey!
This sandwich was the perfect lunch using Udi’s Millet-Chia Bread. You can purchase it online here and check your local markets as well! If you’d like, like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter for updates, new recipes, products, and just an all around fantastic gluten free community.

The Hubby would be thrilled if he could just have the entire board of sandwiches you displayed and I would love to have a wooden spreader like in your picture…any hints as to where to find such an awesome item?

First, that sandwich looks delicious! I will have to try this at home. Second, I’m so glad to hear you are enjoying our Millet Chia bread. It’s my new personal favorite.
mmmm, millet & chia… that just sounds soooooo healthy! I bet an avocado & tomato sandwich would be delicious on that bread too. Don’t get me started 😉
That looks scrumpdilicious! Love the tip about the fresh herbs mixed in with your greens for an unexpected burst of flavor, and the bread looks amazing! Reposting this on my FB page, because I have a member that wants to go gluten free.
