Sugar beets often have very high [[crop yields|crop calorie yields]], which is important for [[food]] security. But do we really have to have ''empty'' calories? What if we could use ''unrefined'' sugar beets for something, so that we could get all their natural nutrients instead of just their sucrose? [[Sugar beet powder]] might be one idea.<br />

* [[Canola]] - similar in the sense that it's also a crop that's used only for its refined calories (canola oil) despite the fact that it has other nutrients (protein) that we should also consider using.<br />
