Abstract


Healthy food is balanced nutrition that meets the body's needs according to dietary guidelines and does not contain substances that are not permitted food additives. Children's knowledge about healthy eating is beneficial so that they can make appropriate food choices and maintain their eating habits. However, children's general knowledge about food is often low, leading them to consume random foods and junk food. Unhealthy eating patterns can hinder growth and development in children. This research aimed to provide understanding to children about healthy food, which is very beneficial so that children can identify healthy food types. The research was conducted on students at Al Ikhlas Konggo Kindergarten. The results of this study indicated that the use of the Healthy Food Book had an influence in improving students' knowledge about healthy food. The T-test results showed that the hypothesis was accepted with a value of 21.002, which was higher than 1.83. The Healthy Food Book is expected to be used as a learning tool to provide knowledge about healthy eating.
