Answer & Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy that can be utilized at a later date but is not being used at the moment. Many food molecules have potential, but the highest energy molecules are carbohydrates, which consist of sugars and starches primarily. Many foods that are high in carbs, such as fruits and grains, also have other benefits such as vitamins. If I was going to pick a particular food to include in my diet that contained carbohydrates, I would probably pick raspberries, since they have many health benefits besides being a quick source of energy. Also, it should be noted that simple carbs are not healthy at all, because they provide too easy a source of energy.
