Food containing carbohydrates O.o

There are many delicacies in the world, but which of them contain carbohydrates ? How to achieve the appropriate carbohydrates per day ?

Sources of carbohydrates
Carbohydrates provide the primary source of energy for humans. There are two big sources of carbohydrates; starches and fruits.


potatoes

 Starch type of food is further split into 4 groups.
Starchy Vegetables
All kinds of potatoes are in this classification. Also included are yams, winter squashes, such as buttercup, Hubbard and banana squashes, pumpkin, caladium root, taro root, cassava root and Jerusalem artichokes. Mildly starchy vegetables
This classification includes carrots, cauliflower, beets, rutabaga and salsify.
Cereal grains
This includes all cereals, whether they're whole or refined, raw or cooked. Examples are wheat, rye, barley, rice, millet, buckwheat and oats.
Legumes
This includes peanuts, lentils, peas and beans.
But a larger amount of the body's limited supply of nerve energy is used up when starches are used for fuel than when fruits are used because starches are, as you know, polysaccharides and must be broken down  into monosaccharides before the body can use them. Fruits contain a preponderance of monosaccharides, which, as you also know, need no digestion at all. Therefore, fruit eating leaves more of the body's energies available for other activities. This explains, in part, why people feel so ''light" when they eat fruits and so heavy when they eat beans or bread.


Bell peppers

 Fruit type of food
Because some non-sweet foods such as nuts, bell peppers, squashes, cucumbers and tomatoes are technically fruits, fruits can be divided into two classifications: 1) sweet fruits and 2) non-sweet fruits. In our discussion of carbohydrates, we will limit our discussion primarily to the sweet fruits, even though the nonsweet fruits do contain some sugar.
For purposes of food combining for digestive compatibility, the sweet fruits can be divided into four groups: 1) sweet fruits, 2) sub-acid fruits, 3) acid fruits and 4) melons. The fruits in each category and how to combine them for best digestion will be discussed in a future lesson on correct food combining.
Fruits are the ideal source of carbohydrates because they are the foods humans are physiologically and anatomically adapted to eating. Humans have a natural "sweet tooth" because that's our inherent nature. The sugars in fruits, being mostly monosaccharides, pass through the stomach and are absorbed through the walls of the intestine without undergoing any digestion. This leaves a great surplus of body energy available for living and all the activities that make living a joy.
