Local Food, Moringa leaves, StuntingAbstract
Stunting remains one of the biggest nutritional problems in Indonesia, including in Sumedang District, and hinders children's physical growth and cognitive development. Efforts to prevent stunting require nutritional interventions based on locally available foods that are nutritious and sustainable. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) are known to be rich in nutrients such as protein, iron, vitamin A, calcium, and antioxidants, which play a crucial role in children's growth and development. This study is a literature review aimed at assessing the potential of moringa leaves as a local food innovation for stunting prevention, particularly among the Legok Kidul community in Paseh Subdistrict, Sumedang District. The literature review results indicate that the use of moringa leaves in the form of enriched pudding can increase the nutritional intake of mothers and children. Additionally, the sufficient availability of moringa plants in the region presents a strategic opportunity to develop moringa leaves as a nutritious local food source. However, challenges include low community awareness of the benefits of moringa leaves and limitations in processing methods. Therefore, community empowerment approaches, nutrition education, and innovations in moringa-based foods are needed to support the stunting prevention program in the village.
