Detailed explanation-1: -Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can’t digest. Though most carbohydrates are broken down into sugar molecules called glucose, fiber cannot be broken down into sugar molecules, and instead it passes through the body undigested.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dietary fiber consists of a group of complex carbohydrates found mostly in vegetables, fruits and legumes. Their fibrous structure makes them indigestible by humans, so they contribute no calories or energy to your diet. Most dietary fiber passes through your intestinal tract completely undigested.

Detailed explanation-3: -These eight additional non-digestible carbohydrates are: (1) mixed plant cell wall fibers3; (2) arabinoxylan; (3) alginate; (4) inulin and inulin-type fructans; (5) high amylose starch (resistant starch 2); (6) galactooligosaccharide; (7) polydextrose; and (8) and resistant maltodextrin/dextrin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dietary fibers a are mainly indigestible complex carbohydrates in plant cell walls (cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin) and a variety of gums, mucilages, and algal polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate that is made by plants to store energy.
