Review: Food of Life Millet Bread
I was in the grocery store yesterday and was intrigued by the thought of millet bread. I like millet, and I've read that adding any pseudo-grain (i.e. amaranth, millet, quinoa) to gluten-free bread helps with texture, flavor, and nutritional punch. With that in mind, I bought a loaf of Food of Life's Millet Bread and I wasn't impressed. The flavor wasn't bad (again, I like millet), but the grainy texture wasn't wheat-bread-like at all. I gave some to my boyfriend (who eats "normally", is a wonderful cook, and is very discerning about food) and he was not impressed either. While it may be an improvement over gluten-free breads of the past, Food of Life's Millet Bread doesn't hold a candle to my personal "me-friendly" bread favorite from Udi's Gluten-Free Foods. On the other hand, I do like their brown rice tortillas, which do not fall apart when you try to fold them for burritos and don't taste gluten-free either.
