Any crop that is grown for feed, fibre, oil, ethanol or food for
humans has any one or all parts used and utilized for whatever
industry requires that part. Barley, canola, wheat and corn are
harvested mainly for the seeds, but all parts of the plant--except
canola--are harvested and used as straw or feed for livestock. Any
garden or greenhouse that grows vegetables and fruits have plants
that have their roots, stems, leaves, seeds and/or fruits
harvested: carrots, potatoes, lettuce, celery, broccoli, beans,
peas, chives, onions, chevots, sunflowers, peppers, etc. Flax and
lentils are also grown in Alberta.

Saskatoon berries are known for their delicious fruits which are used in pies and jams. The wild rose, on the other hand, has rose hips that are rich in vitamin C and are sometimes harvested. Oh, and don't forget about the roots and stems of some native herbs too, like yarrow.
