Starches and fiber are both types of carbohydrates found in plant-based foods. Starches serve as a primary energy source for the body, as they are broken down into glucose during digestion. Fiber, on the other hand, is not digested but plays a crucial role in promoting digestive health, regulating blood sugar levels, and aiding in satiety. Together, they contribute to overall health by providing energy and supporting proper digestive function.
