Underutilized foodstuffs

Underutilized foodstuffs 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). (...)( 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 less efficient than people eating them directly.
