Dear Mitra Jain, Thank you for the question

Most of the food groups contain carbohydrate in either simple or complex form. Some of the foods that contain no or negligible amount of carbohydrates are meat, fish, egg, poultry etc.  A balanced diet should provide around 50-60% of total calories from carbohydrates, preferably from complex carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are a good source of energy.  You can include whole grains like wheat, millets and multigrain in your diet as they are a good source of fiber and other nutrients.

Complex carbohydrates–Wheat, Ragi, Jowar, Bajra, Foxtail millet, oats, wheat bran etc

Simple carbohydrates-Rice, Sago, Sugar etc

Dietary fiber also known as roughage is a type of carbohydrate- Vegetables such as green beans, peas, cauliflower, garlic, carrot, tomato etc. Fruits including banana, apple, and citrus fruits like orange & sweet lime, Dried beans, peas etc

Carbohydrates are also found in dairy products, legumes and starchy vegetables.

Hope we have answered your query.

Wishing you a great day ahead.
