Abstract

The purpose of this study is to ensure that the leaves and fronds of taro leaves can be used as alternative food ingredients and to find out which varieties can be consumed because Indonesia has several types of taro. This research method is experimental using standard analysis methods. Based on the results of identification, it was shown that the leaves and taro fronds could potentially be used as food ingredients and beneficial for health because they also contain phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants.

Keywords: leaves; midrib; taro; phenol; flavonoids and antioxidants
