During production and digestion, starch can be broken down into sugars, which contributes to the carbohydrate content of the final product.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In short, different plant ingredients therefore result in different nutritional compositions.
