This is a simple 5-ingredient spread with millet, hemp seeds and paprika. Delicious and comforting food, lovely as an appetizer or if it wouldn’t snow here right now I’d say it’s a perfect sandwich ingredient for a spring picnic.
Fun fact: I absolutely hated millet because of its hungarian name (KÖLES!). Don’t ask me why, I just associate the name with something bad tasting. I really don’t like the word köles. But millet? Or Hirse as germans call it? Oh yeah, baby!
This millet and hemp seed spread is great on toast or with veggies, such as celery stalk, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and many more. You can also use it as a filling for baked vegetables, stuff bell peppers or mushrooms with it, super duper delicious!

This looks so good Evi! I love hemp seeds, they’re the perfect food nutritionally speaking. The color is perfect for an Easter dip. 🙂
Thank you, Linda! Hemp seeds are really the best, I sprinkle them on everything 😀
This spread sounds like the kind of thing I would want to spread on everything!! Paprika is one of my favorite spices and I love the color it gives this 🙂
Thank you, Izzy! I really love paprika too, I grew up using it all the time 🙂
Omg this is amazing! You’re such a genius!
Thank you so much, Anne ♥
Looks sooo good!! Reminds me of körözött 😉
Oh, körözött!! ♥ I love it and miss it so much!
And you are totally right, I thought of körözött when I made this spread. Without the hemp seeds it tastes pretty similar 😉
This is an awesome recipe! I love your ingredients. Keep shining!
Thank you!!
