The two main forms of carbohydrates are sugars (such as fructose, glucose, and lactose) and starches, which are found in foods such as starchy vegetables, grains, rice, breads, and cereals.

✏Carbohydrates are macronutrients and are one of the three main ways by which our body obtains its energy. They are called carbohydrates as they comprise of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen at their chemical level.

They are classified into two groups...

• Simple Carbohydrates
• Complex carbohydrates

✏Simple carbohydrates have one or two sugar molecules. In simple carbohydrates, molecules are digested and converted quickly resulting in a rise in the blood sugar levels.

✳Examples- Glucose, Honey, etc.

✏Complex carbohydrates have two or more sugar molecules, hence they are referred to as starchy foods. In complex carbohydrates, molecules are digested and converted slowly compared to simple carbohydrates.

✳Examples- Potato, lentils, Whole grain bread.
