The term "complex carbohydrates" refers to polysaccharides. This is as opposed to simple carbohydrates, or sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides). Some nutritionists, however, use the term complex carbohydrate to refer to any sort of digestible saccharide present in a whole food where fiber, vitamins and minerals are also found.
