Definition: Plant polysaccharides are Complex carbohydrates / Complex polysaccharides found in plants, including cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, beta-glucans, and resistant starches
Shen et al. 2023 Nutrients 15(15): 3321

All plant polysaccharides are dietary fibers; they are a subset of dietary fibers

Plant polysaccharides are not easily digested or absorbed in the [gastrointestinal tract](brain://2ze-J2p2VEi_0VSpadeLHw/IntestineGastrointestinalTractGutG…
