Carbohydrate classification concept map

About this carbohydrate classification concept map

This easy-to-follow map breaks down carbs, the fuel our bodies need.

It starts with the big picture: carbs are either simple or complex. Simple ones are like quick energy bites – think fruits, milk, or table sugar. Complex carbs are more like slow-burners, found in foods like whole grains, veggies, and beans.

The map takes you deeper, showing how each kind is built. Simple carbs are like tiny building blocks, while complex carbs are like long chains. The map even points out specific types, like the starch that helps plants grow or the fiber that keeps our tummies happy.

It's perfect for students, teachers, or anyone curious about carbs or wants to learn more about healthy eating.
