Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates include whole grains like oats, wheat and rye and fruits & vegetables like bananas, broccoli, apples and carrots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbs. Broccoli’s carbs mainly consist of fiber and sugars. The sugars are fructose, glucose, and sucrose, with small amounts of lactose and maltose ( 4 ). However, the total carb content is very low, with only 3.5 grams of digestible carbs per cup (91 grams).

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch. Starches are complex carbohydrates formed by combining three or more sugar molecules. They take longer to digest than simple sugars because the bonds between the sugar molecules need to be broken down by an enzyme during digestion. Each serving of broccoli contains 2 grams of starches.

Detailed explanation-4: -Complex carbohydrates are found in foods such as peas, beans, whole grains, and vegetables. Both simple and complex carbohydrates are turned to glucose (blood sugar) in the body and are used as energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pile on non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, kale, and tomatoes. They’re low in carbs and high in fiber and nutrients. They’re also good sources of vitamin C, and research suggests that getting enough of the vitamin can help your body manage blood sugar.
