Abstract

This study aims to determine the pattern of local food consumption among toddlers at the household level in Ulanta Village, Bone Bolango Regency. The type of research used is quantitative descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 30 respondents who were housewives with toddlers, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and direct interviews, then analyzed descriptively to obtain frequency distributions and percentages. The results showed that most people still consume local foods such as bananas (90%), local fish (90%), fruits (83.3%), and vegetables (76.7%), while the consumption of cassava (46.7%) and sago (26.7%) is relatively low. Most respondents had good knowledge about the benefits of local foods (53.1%) and considered local foods to be easily available and affordable. A total of 75% of respondents had good eating habits. The conclusion of this study is that local foods play an important role in meeting the nutritional needs of toddlers and household food security, but education and processing innovations are needed to maintain local food consumption.
