Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates, found mostly in whole plant foods, maintain their natural fiber and fuel your body with the energy it needs. Examples include beans, oatmeal, 100% whole-wheat bread, quinoa, barley, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and many other plant foods.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sweet potato is classed as a complex CHO but it is higher on the GI scale. In spite of this, its high levels of fibre mean you also remain full for longer. Win-win! In addition, greater levels of vitamins and minerals are found in the sweet potato compared to its white counterpart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules that are strung together in long, complex chains. Complex carbohydrates are found in foods such as peas, beans, whole grains, and vegetables.

Detailed explanation-4: -Except for some fruits, complex carbohydrates are more abundant than simple sugars in plants, but it is sugars with their hedonically pleasing sweet taste that are the sought-after carbohydrate [1].
