Complex, Simple Carbohydrates, CHO & Glycemic Index

There are two different types of Carbohydrates and they are-

 Simple & Complex.

The 5 sources to carbohydrates are-

Sugars, starches, fibers, grains & Beans/nuts

The difference between simple and complex are-

Simple: Is that it is quickly digested and absorbed, it also doesn't keep you full for a while.

Complex: It keeps your stomach full for a longer lasting time and it slowly digests your foods.

What is their function?

It is giving more energy to the body like a supplier, the brain needs simple carbohydrates glucose as an energy source. It may also help metabolism.

!SCONES!

Last Friday me and my partner had made Cheese scones for a task,

What I need to improve on is probably being able to work together as a team than taking over, and that is quite what i'm use to doing. I also need to improve on being patient and wait for our food to cook, rather than just taking it out.

In this task I mostly liked kneading the dough and collecting the ingredients.

Something I learn't was how to actually make scones.

Here are the ingredients on how to make scones.

3 cups plain flour

6 teaspoons Baking Powder

¼ teaspoon salt

75g butter

1 to 1 ½ cups milk

Here is a photo of a word art I have done on this topic.
