Carbohydrate
Starches, along with sugars, are known as carbohydrates and provide fuel for the body. We should base our meals around starchy foods such as bread, potato, cereal, rice and pasta, and include wholegrain types when possible. Labels show how much carbohydrate there is in a product and - on the line below - how much of that carbohydrate is from sugars. This amount includes naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in fruit juice and milk, plus any sugars that have been added during manufacture.
