Carbohydrates are one of the main nutrients found in food and drinks. They are sugar molecules that serve as a primary source of energy for the body.

There are three main types of carbohydrates in foods:Sugars (simple carbohydrates): Found naturally in fruits, vegetables, and milk, and added to processed foods like candy and soda.Starches (complex carbohydrates): Made of many sugar units bonded together, found in foods such as bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, peas, and corn.Fiber (complex carbohydrate): Not digested by the body but helps with digestion, makes you feel full, and supports gut health. Found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains.

Carbohydrate-rich foods include breads, grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, legumes, and some processed foods. Carbohydrates play important roles in providing energy and supporting brain, muscle, immune, and digestive health .
