Abstract

The market is the main place for buying and selling alternative food ingredients and is rich in local wisdom. This study aims to explain the diversity of food plants and alternative foods that are traded in the Kranggan Mas traditional market, Bekasi and their potential as healthy food ingredients. The research was conducted with an ethnobotanical approach with surveys, interviews and observations. Respondents in the study were all traders who traded alternative food ingredients. Qualitative analysis includes grouping plants based on benefits, families, and parts used. There were 143 species with 150 local names from 105 genera and 46 families of food plants that were traded at the Kranggan Mas market, Bekasi. Most of these food plants come from the Fabaceae (15 species), Cucurbitaceae (12 species), Zingiberaceae, Brassicaceae, Rutaceae and Solanaceae families each with 7 species. Most of the plants are used as vegetables (51 species), followed by fruit sources (45 species) and followed by cooking spices (38 species) and alternative food (12 species). Dioscorea alata contains compounds containing dioscorin compounds which also function to reduce hypertension and are highly recommended for postmenopausal women. Dioscorea alata and Artocarpus altilis are food ingredients that are still very potential to be developed and cultivated because both species are easy to find in the surrounding environment and can double as shade and living fences. Keywords: Foodstuffs, Alternative food, Artocarpus altilis, Disocorea alata, dioscorin
