Carbohydrates are found in foods such as pasta, breads, breakfast cereals, rice, noodles, and starchy vegetables such as potato or corn.

• Carbohydrates are the best energy source for your body, especially your brain.
• Carbohydrate foods are high in B vitamins which help release the energy from food for your body to use.
• Carbohydrate foods are a great choice for breakfast – such as Weet-Bix, which is made from wholegrain wheat - as they help you concentrate in class.
• Wholegrain sources of carbohydrate give you fibre, which helps keep your digestive system healthy.
