Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates-or starches-have longer-chained sugars and fiber, and they take longer to digest. These include whole-grain breads and pastas, peas, beans and legumes. The body breaks down these carbohydrates into simple sugars, which is the major source of energy for the body.
