Abstract

Community Empowerment in Fulfilling Family Nutrition Through the Innovation "NaNgKap (Snapper Water Spinach Nuggets)" Abstract Background: Providing Supplementary Food (PMT) is a program implemented by the government for the toddler age group which is intended as an addition to the main daily food to overcome nutritional problems with a length of time of 90 days. Consuming snapper fish can increase growth in children because it contains omega-3 which plays an important role in growth, especially children's brain intelligence. Snapper fish can be developed to make nuggets which will encourage efforts to prevent stunting, where 100 grams of snapper fish contains 92 kcal of energy, 20 grams of protein, 20 mg of calcium. And the combination with eggs in the ingredients for making nuggets which are high in protein and calcium can help a person's growth. Objective: to provide knowledge about the benefits of balanced nutritional food that is good for consumption by children. Research Method: This community service was carried out at 13 Ulu on January 22 – February 9 2024. There were 15 participants in this community service activity.
