Which foods have complex carbohydrates?

Answer by  elb (1105)

Complex carbohydrates are found in whole grains and rice, many fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and potatoes. They are healthier than simple (refined) carbohydrates such as sugar, corn syrup, and white flour. Nutritionists advise having at least 50% of calories from complex carbohydrates. They provide long-lasting energy (no sugar high!) and can be prepared in many tasty meals.

Complex carbohydrates are included in whole grain foods such as whole grain pasta, whole grain bread, and whole grain cereals. Complex carbohydrates are not bad for you, in fact they are the healthiest type of carbohydrates. This is because your body takes a longer ammount of time to break them down into sugars.
