What does carb mean?

Carbohydrates are carbohydrates, which are widely found in food and are one of the main sources of energy for humans. Carbohydrates are made up of three elements, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, also known as saccharides, and are the main source of energy provided by the human body. Grains, potatoes, legumes, and tubers are the main ways in which humans consume carbohydrates. Carbohydrates with a simple structure, such as rice and flour, can be broken down and absorbed quickly after ingestion and are more easily stored as fat in the body. Complex carbohydrates, especially those rich in dietary fiber such as potatoes, corn, millet, white potatoes, etc., are broken down and absorbed more slowly in the body than the former, which is more beneficial to the control of blood glucose and blood lipids. And because of its large size and low energy density, it can also reduce the amount of calories consumed while satisfying the feeling of satiety.
