	Wheat kernels contain 3 parts: Bran, germ, and endosperm. Whole-wheat flour{{x\|which is just the wheat kernels, ground up}} contains all 3 in their natural proportion. But white flour contains only the endosperm. The bran and germ are left over. The bran is mostly fiber, but the germ is high in protein, oils, vitamins and minerals (especially vitamin E).

+When sugar cane or beets are processed into white sugar, ''molasses'' is the part left over. It contains all the vitamins & minerals that were stripped away.

You can help by eating more molasses{{x|especially the cheaper more abundant "blackstrap molasses", as opposed to the more expensive "fancy molasses"}}. Recipes coming soon.<!-- TODO: add recipes -->

+Canola kernels contain oils, protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. But currently only the oil is used in human food{{x|with rare exceptions}}. After the kernels are pressed for oil, the leftover stuff is called ''canola meal''. It's high in protein. It could probably be ground into flour and used in baking. The proteins are probably very digestible when cooked properly.{{rn}}

Underutilized [[food]]stuffs include anything abundant that isn't generally eaten by humans but could be - and could provide valuble nutrients.

Ongoing list:
* molasses (people do eat it, but far more of it is produced than consumed by humans). {{x|This is because it's a byproduct of something more widely consumed: sugar. Molasses contains a lot of nutrients ... this should probably be its own page}}
* avocado seed
* wheat germ
* canola meal (or whole canola rather than just the oil)
* soybean meal (can be ground into soy flour)

These foods are high in vitamins, minerals, protein and fibre. These tend to end up being fed to animals, which is [[feed|less efficient]] than people eating them directly.
