Carbohydrate rich foods are often thought of as no-no foods because carbs are frequently associated with gaining weight but healthy complex carbohydrates that are not processed or refined, such as brown rice, whole wheat, bulgur, quinoa, oatmeal, beans, legumes, and potatoes are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber and are crucial for our health. Carbohydrates are our main source of energy and have been shown to be associated with heart, gut, and brain health. Complex carbohydrates are an essential component to a healthy diet and can be incorporated in many different ways! Here are three delicious and healthy recipes that include healthy carbs:
