Made with five simple ingredients—organic brown-rice flour, almond meal, golden flaxseed meal, sea salt and baking powder—this gluten-free mix, blended with eggs and water, makes fluffy pancakes or golden waffles. Arnel’s Originals also offers All Purpose Flour and a gluten-free baking mix for Buckwheat Bread. Booth 5225
This is not your typical Caesar dressing. In addition to being plant based, organic and gluten free, it’s made from some of the healthiest ingredients around, including hemp, which offers protein, omega-3 fatty acids and all nine amino acids. When coupled with other superfoods such as dulse and chia seeds, this power-packed dressing adds to, rather than detracts from, a salad’s nutrients. Booth 5751
It doesn’t get much better than flavor, nutrition and innovation. Almonds and omega-3-rich walnuts combine to deliver 6 grams of protein per serving in this nutty spread. Dates, rather than sugar, offer a touch of sweetness. Most impressive, though, is the addition of 50 percent of the daily recommended value of vitamins (you can’t taste them at all), making life just a little easier. Booth 5797
Swap kids’ fruit snacks for these delicious 100-calorie-per-pack antioxidant chews. Sweetened with organic ingredients including brown-rice syrup and cane sugar, the berry-shaped gummies pack a perfect balance of sweet and tart. They also deliver 2 grams of protein per serving. Booth 5585
Cold-pressed processing helps these organic beverages retain essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Vanilla Cloud uses almond and coconut milks to deliver flavonoids and vitamin E. Vanilla bean and a touch of honey add sweetness. Also try the company’s six juices that use nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables such as kale, parsley and green apples for everyday drinking or to support a cleanse. Booth 5646

Because of its impressive nutrient profile, sustainable production methods and versatility, hemp is just one ingredient we expect to see more of in finished products in coming years.
Aronia berry also has our attention. This promising Midwestern berry has ample antioxidants (more than açaí) and is popping up in food products and supplements. Almond, another domestic, is on our radar as well, moving beyond a flavor additive to a functional ingredient in gluten-free and paleo products.
As millennials make more household purchasing decisions, their aversion to pill-form supplements should spark the launch of more nutrient-fortified everyday foods.
