The 7 components of food are Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Vitamins, Minerals, Fibre and Water.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products.
Proteins
DescriptionProteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
Fats
Fat molecules consist of primarily carbon and hydrogen atoms and are therefore hydrophobic and are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water like cholesterol.
Vitamins
A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism.
Minerals
A mineral is an element or chemical compound that is normally crystalline and that has been formed as a result of geological processes.
Fibre
Fiber, also known as roughage, is the part of plant-based foods (grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beans) that the body can't break down. It passes through the body undigested, keeping your digestive system clean and healthy.
Water
Water is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of most living organisms. It is vital for all known forms of life, even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients.
