An indigestible complex carbohydrate is a type of dietary fiber found in plant-based foods. It is not broken down or absorbed by the body, but instead passes through the digestive system and helps to promote healthy digestion. Examples of indigestible complex carbohydrates include cellulose, lignin, and pectin.
