17 Food Trends for 2019, According to the Buyers at Whole Foods and FreshDirect

"Cannabidiol (CBD) is an ingredient derived from the cannabis plant that is non-psychoactive but is said to offer relief from pain, anxiety and depression while having anti-inflammatory properties. In 2018, we saw CBD pop up in the form of tinctures and beauty products. In 2019, CBD will break into the food category in full force, driven by the help of risk-taking innovators. CBD oil-infused products will first surge in the drinks category, with CBD-infused drinks driving the functional-wellness drink category. CBD will also be prominently featured on more menus next year and as the star of new food products, such as salad dressings." — FreshDirect
