Minerals and vitamins are required in minute quantities and are called micronutrients. Example minerals and vitamins. Carbohydrates like rice, potato, and sugarcane provide energy. Proteins like pulses, milk, and eggs provide the body with building material to grow. Fats like ghee, oil, and butter provide energy and help to insulate the body.
